Home Care of the Elderly Meals-on-wheels, Community or Macmillan nurses - the whole concept of home care does not exist in Romania. If you are old and ill or disabled, there is no help outside the family.

We are the only organisation in the NE of Romania to provide home care services with our teams consisting of:

a doctor, 6 nurses, 2 social workers, 25 home carers, and 2 physiotherapists.

Without our help, over 300 old people would have no choice but to suffer alone.

We offer a unique home care service for old people so that they can stay in their own homes during temporary, chronic or terminal illlness.

We shop, cook and provide nursing, medical care,"meals on wheels" and social support for over 300 frail elderly in 4 regions - AND - we train others to spread this care to other regions.
