It is planned to provide long-term care services in the house in a family-like environment, and local governments might build such houses, the Ministry of Welfare told Latvijas Avīze.
Older people will be able to receive care while living in small groups in an environment adapted to their needs. The premises have separate bedrooms, which are located next to the common living room and kitchen, said Guntis Kaldovskis, spokesman for the Ministry of Welfare.
The buildings will be one-story, wooden panels. In each apartment or building there are six individual rooms with a separate combined bathroom, a common living room combined with a kitchen, a bathroom for washing bedridden clients, a room for staff and other premises. The project developers promise a comfortable, ergonomic and aesthetic environment for providing services to people with various functional disabilities.
