The project is designed to organise assisted living for disabled people, replacing long-term care services by permanent assisted living in personal residential facilities to be followed by independent living, and increase the number of disabled people needing long-term care services and receiving assisted living services.
The project is to involve 30 mentally impaired local residents receiving or waiting to receive long-term care services. The project will create an assisted living residence for 12 people currently living in neuropsychiatric establishments. Additionally, 18 people needing long-term care services will receive assisted living services in personal residential facilities. Apart from helping the project beneficiaries to adapt to a modern, alternative environment, the project will also introduce assisted living into social services in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
The intended social outcomes include helping disabled people to adapt to living in assisted living residences and personal residential facilities, and enabling them to live independently and fulfil their potential without long-term care services.
The desired social outcomes are to be achieved through:
socialising people with mental health disabilities, teaching them to live independently, helping them to become equal members of society;
working with relatives/guardians (counselling, jointly developed adaptation programmes, training);
dealing with HR management issues (recruitment, training, career development, supervision, burnout prevention).
