Hoolduskeskusi

Hoolduskeskusi, often translated as care homes or nursing homes, are facilities that provide residential care and support for individuals who require assistance with daily living activities. These services are typically sought by elderly individuals, people with disabilities, or those recovering from illness or injury who are unable to live independently. The level of care provided can vary significantly, ranging from basic assistance with tasks such as bathing, dressing, and eating, to more complex medical care, including medication management, wound care, and rehabilitation services.

The primary goal of a hoolduskeskus is to ensure the safety, well-being, and comfort of its residents. This includes providing a secure environment, nutritious meals, and opportunities for social interaction and recreational activities. Staff in these facilities often include nurses, caregivers, therapists, and administrative personnel, all working together to meet the diverse needs of the residents. Admission criteria and the specific services offered can differ between institutions, and prospective residents or their families usually undergo an assessment to determine the most suitable placement. Funding for care homes can come from various sources, including private payment, social security benefits, or government subsidies, depending on the individual's financial situation and the country's healthcare system.
