Emerging Care Services for Elderly in Romania
Emerging Care Services for Elderly in Romania

Summary/Abstract: At the intersection of international pressure to improve the care sector, and the internal pressure from the civil society in the last 10 years new laws have emerged, which improved the care of dependent people. The Government made amendments to fund home-care services for people who need medical social services in their homes. Until this stage, the development was slow within the frames of the under-financed Romanian health and social assistance system. Case studies demonstrated the existence of a pool of qualified home-care services in Romania, though limited in coverage, financial resources and number of care-force.
