Frequently Asked Questions
- Should one choose a state or private nursing home for the elderly?
- In Serbia, in recent years, there has been intensive work to raise the standards in state institutions so that they are equal to private institutions. Licensed private homes have the same status as state institutions, so in essence, there is no difference between them. State gerontology centers belong to a wider network of health and social welfare institutions, including health centers, hospitals, social welfare centers, etc. Private homes for the elderly have smaller capacities, which further indicates higher quality of services, as nurses and caregivers are assigned to fewer people and can devote more time and attention to them. The procedure for admission to a private nursing home is much easier than in state institutions, where one may wait for a place in the home for several months.
- Who can stay in a nursing home?
- Homes for the elderly are intended for the care and accommodation of people who require professional supervision and care 24 hours a day.
