as a result of insufficient funding meals and medical support are provided
at the expense of residents’ pensions remitted onto the institutional accounts;
–
lack of proper personnel and their insufficient qualifications; absence of
staff positions of geriatrists, medical rehabilitologists, psychotherapists,
insufficient number of paramedical personnel (specifically, of remedial
massage and exercise therapy nurses), especially at residences remote
from regional centers; certain difficulties with continuous and advanced
training of the institutional personnel;
–
limited exercise of the right to comprehensive rehabilitation services: the
existing system of residences is oriented at satisfaction only of the basic
physiological, hygienic and bodily needs of the resident patients;
–
lack of proper communication between residence institutions in different
regions; no proper coordination between boarding home and the state,
civic or charity organizations;
–
the residents live in an overregulated, conventionalistic and poorly furnished environment and thus can hardly satisfy own needs or wishes;
–
restrictions with regard to exercise the right to information or to lodge
a complaint; institutions provide no literature about the residents’ rights
and do not display the lists of such rights on information boards; boxes for
complaints and suggestions are sometimes unavailable.
