Who has the primary right to receive housing in a special house?
According to the legislation, veterans of the Great Patriotic War have the primary right to receive a social apartment or an isolated room in a special house. Also on the list are:
- pensioners and disabled people affected by political repression;
- single pensioners and disabled people who are subject to eviction from the premises they occupy by a court decision;
- widows and parents of servicemen who died in the line of duty.
It should be noted that it is necessary to apply to those social bodies that are located at the place of residence or registration of the pensioner. If they make a positive decision there, a warrant will be issued to a person or couple, on the basis of which a contract of employment is concluded.
Important bedroom modifications
When mobility issues arise, getting out of bed every day becomes difficult. There are several options for improving the safety of the bedroom - from installation of additional lighting before selection suitable bed:
-
Buy a low-profile bed: the optimal bed height is 50-60 cm, since it is from this height that it is easier to get up and lie down on the floor. Another option is an adjustable mattress that can be raised and lowered using a remote control.
-
Install lighting near the bed: this is necessary to minimize walking in the dark.
-
Buy nightstands the same height as the bed: reaching down to the nightstand can cause you to fall, and if it's too high, it can make it difficult to get to the bed.
-
Install a bed rail: Grasping it will make it easier for an elderly person to get up and lie down.
-
Provide sufficient clearance around the bed: The empty space around the bed is necessary so that a person in a walker or wheelchair can easily reach the edge of the bed.
-
Keep your phone near your bed: whether it's a landline or mobile phone, it should be available in case of an emergency.

How to keep the old home?
The right to own existing housing is reserved for a person with a disability or other restrictions for six months (according to the Federal Law under number 122, article 12). As mentioned above, such housing could have gone to an elderly or disabled person by inheritance, for hire, or as rented housing.
If the living space is occupied by relatives with a residence permit, the apartment remains in their use until the return of the disabled person or the old man from the stationary house.
If a person who previously needed social protection decided to return home, he can do so. But if the apartment was empty for more than six months, it could be transferred to the possession of a third party. In this case, the former owner has the right to claim only housing that is similar in area to the one lost during his stay in the house belonging to the social service system.
It should be noted that in the system of social services there are houses for people who do not have a permanent place of residence. These are night stay houses, various shelters, adaptation centers, social hotels. Such citizens do not have their own housing and they cannot claim to keep it.
Private nursing homes
At the moment, such houses are only becoming popular and increasing in number. Now municipal institutions of this kind are so in demand that there are much more of them than state ones. It is no secret that living in such houses differs significantly from state-owned ones, but the price also corresponds to the quality of the assistance provided.
The price for accommodation is comparable, for example, with hotels of different levels. The higher the quality of service of the institution, the higher the price, but the quality of life there is correspondingly different.In any case, whatever the price, relatives can be calm that an elderly person or a disabled person is cared for, well fed and provided with all the necessary assistance.
The private nursing home is equipped with all the necessary equipment and staff, there is a gym designed for the elderly and the disabled so that they can maintain their physical fitness. Also, you can often watch pools, baths and there is always a small park where people can walk, breathe fresh air.
The peculiarity of the location of nursing homes is that they are located on the outskirts of the city so that people are far from the bustle of the city, noise and gas pollution. Clean air and nature are a great place to live and relax in peace.
Rules for registration in a private nursing home
Here is another significant plus - registration in municipal nursing homes takes a minimum amount of time. Just like in public institutions, private institutions require tests and certificates of the passage of specialists, but quite often, tests can be taken at the institution itself.
Blood tests for HIV, hepatitis and diphtheria, fluorography are required. And the inspection requires the same specialists as when applying for a state-type nursing home.

It is important to understand that living in such an institution is not only constantly being in the same building. Private nursing homes often organize excursions and trips to various interesting places, hold holidays
Moreover, relatives are also invited to various celebrations so that families can spend holidays together.
For the disabled and people suffering from various ailments, there is a medical staff who will monitor the state of health, ensure the timely intake of medicines and deal with the rehabilitation period.
What are these houses?
For houses belonging to the social service system, the following distinguishing features are characteristic:

- You can get residential meters here only on temporary conditions, that is, in essence, this is temporary housing.
- Such real estate cannot be alienated - the house and all its living quarters will always belong to a special housing fund.
- The room obtained here is not allowed to be rented or rented. That is, commercial benefits are excluded when it comes to social support for citizens.
According to the provisions of Federal Laws No. 160 and 195, social services are obliged not only to provide a citizen in need of assistance with housing, but also to organize comfortable living for him.
Citizens are provided with medical care, cultural leisure, various social and domestic services.
Moreover, all of the listed services most often are in the same house, under one roof or at a convenient distance for visiting. You can not only live in the house, but also receive the whole range of social support.
Such real estate cannot be redeemed from the state or misused. The use of living space here is subject to all the rules established for special housing funds. And in order to get a room or an opportunity to live, an applicant for social assistance must conclude an agreement confirming the social rental of housing.
Benefits of placing people with mental disabilities in a hospital
People with mental illness and personality disorders in old age cannot be left unsupervised. This is due to the fact that they pose a threat to themselves or the environment, even without showing aggression or a hostile attitude, but simply because they cannot take care of themselves. Having chosen the option of settling a loved one in a private boarding house, his relatives provide him with round-the-clock supervision and the possibility of a full and healthy life:
- providing the necessary assistance in personal care, personal hygiene;
- complex and complete nutrition without going to the store and cooking;
- constant supervision by a doctor and the use of a prescribed therapeutic complex;
- development and implementation of physiotherapy procedures, health promotion;
- walking in the fresh air, increasing the level of physical activity;
- socialization and adaptation, communication with peers and staff;
- organization of leisure, the use of rehabilitation programs.
A modern private nursing home in the Moscow region "Olympia House" is exactly the place where a person will feel comfortable. Here life is organized for patients, leisure activities and medical examinations are carried out for them, the staff monitors compliance with all sanitary standards.

Foster family for the elderly and disabled: legal features of the concept
“A foster family for an elderly person” is a social action aimed at providing comprehensive assistance in caring for and monitoring a person in need, assisting in maintaining full-fledged social and living conditions for elderly people without families and relatives, as well as people with disabilities with limited abilities of independent care.
One of the main missions of the project of foster families for the elderly as a separate type of social assistance is the implementation of social support and assistance in the psychological rehabilitation of a lonely person in the circle of a new family.
People who have taken the initiative to take an elderly person or a disabled person into their family undertake to provide him with the full range of necessary assistance:
- provide food, medicine, daily use items;
- provide basic medical care until the arrival of a doctor and escort to a medical facility;
- organize the life and leisure of a person in a comfortable psychological environment in the family.
It should be emphasized that the provision of assistance to lonely elderly people is implemented on a reimbursable basis: as a rule, the foster family responsible for the care of a particular person receives special regular social payments from local government bodies.
Depending on the intentions and desires of both parties, an agreement on the admission of an elderly person to a family can be concluded for a period of 30 days to several years. Such a family can be organized both in their living space and directly in the apartment of the person being cared for.
To date, Russian federal legislation does not yet have a separate law on foster families.In those constituent entities of the Russian Federation where the practice of foster families has been implemented (and this is more than 30 regions), this initiative is regulated by regional regulations.
Motivations for moving to a nursing home
Depending on the state of the elderly person, the financial and physical capabilities of relatives, the decision comes to place a pensioner to live in a nursing home. Usually close people are guided by the following reasons:
- There is no opportunity to take care of an elderly person due to business trips, living in different cities, lack of social and living conditions;
- The pensioner needs constant medical supervision;
- An elderly person is a disabled person with limited self-care capabilities and requires constant outside assistance;
- There is a distrust of hired nurses.
For a pensioner to leave his native walls becomes a difficult test. The main impetus for the decision to settle in a nursing home is loneliness, infirmity and illness, which do not allow you to fully care for yourself. In this case, the main motives will be:
- Absence of close relatives;
- Impossibility of self-service;
- Unfavorable situation in the family (alcoholism, drug addiction, plus mental instability of relatives);
- Unwillingness to be a "burden" for relatives;
- Feeling of loneliness and feeling of "uselessness" to relatives.
It happens that an elderly person, having saved a certain amount of money, can afford to pay for a private boarding house on his own. He settles there to search for kindred spirits, to communicate and spend leisure time with people of his generation.A person evaluates all the pros and cons and realizes that he will be provided with proper care, a balanced and varied diet, medical supervision, although on the other hand there are certain rules for living in a nursing home.
FSS pilot project in 2019
The reform of the social insurance system began on July 1, 2011. Prior to this, in all regions of the Russian Federation, benefits to insured persons were paid by the employer and at the same time reduced the amount of insurance premiums. According to the FSS pilot project, a new approach, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 21, 2011 No. 294, is that in the event of an insured event, the employee applies to the employer with a statement and documents established by law, and the employer transfers these documents to the FSS within 5 calendar days . Then the fund makes a decision and pays the money to the insured employee to a personal bank account or by transfer within 10 calendar days. The first 3 days of illness are still paid by the employer at the expense of the company, and the next days are paid by the fund from its budget.
The latest version of Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 04.21.2011 No. 294 provides for the operation of the FSS pilot project until the end of 2020. And the list of regions participating in this project today looks like this:

Participation in the FSS pilot project is mandatory for all employers in these regions; the right to choose is not provided for by law.
The register of information that is necessary for the payment of certain types of benefits is filled in and submitted by policyholders in accordance with the order of the FSS dated November 24, 2017 No. 579. On our website you can download a sample of filling out the register for the pilot project of the FSS.
The rules for filling out a sick leave in the FSS pilot project are as follows:
- A sick leave form is used, approved by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development dated April 26, 2011 No. 347n.
- This form is very well protected. It can be completed using a computer, which greatly simplifies the work of medical institutions. Some information in it is encrypted in the form of codes.
- The main feature of the form is the possibility of computer processing and machine readability.
The sample for filling out a sick leave in the FSS pilot project is exactly the same as for filling out a traditional sick leave.
Read about the features of calculating sick leave benefits in the article "The maximum amount of sick leave in 2019".
The main options for accepting an elderly person into a foster family
In the practice of organizing foster families in Russia, there are two most common options for providing assistance to an elderly or disabled person:
- The first option is when one of the able-bodied family members, who has the opportunity not to be involved in a permanent work schedule and has free time, accepts an elderly stranger into his family and assumes obligations to provide the necessary social and household assistance. Under such circumstances, special care for a needy elderly person is equated to the activities of social workers, in connection with which a citizen who has shown this initiative, according to the law, claims to have a record of seniority, and his family is entitled to a special payment in the amount of funds for the maintenance of a pensioner in a special institution for old people.
- The second option is that the family assumes social obligations to organize full-fledged care for a lonely old man in his own living space, providing for the relocation of responsible persons here and permanent residence with a person in need. In this case, the family claims to take ownership of the apartment or house of an elderly person after his death.
Grounds for placing a person in a nursing home
Based on the provisions of the above article, the following categories and characteristics can be attributed to such people:
- a person has completely or partially lost the ability to serve himself independently or has lost the opportunity for such self-care, cannot move independently and provide for his basic life needs in the event of a certain disease, due to the establishment of a disability or due to age;
- the inability to provide any care, including temporary, for a person who needs such care permanently or temporarily, as well as the lack of care for such a person;
- the presence of a conflict within the family with members who have alcohol or drug addiction and behave negatively within the family, including those who initiate a situation of violence in such a family;
- the absence of a permanent place of residence for a person in respect of whom social service measures should be applied, including in the form of placement in a specialized institution, for example, in a nursing home;
- lack of means of subsistence for such a person.
These grounds can be considered as key reasons for the placement in a nursing home of a person who needs such care.
In the event that we are talking about registration in a private nursing home, then it is enough to conclude a contract for the provision of services and pay for the first period of stay (if the option of transferring a person’s pension to pay for his stay in such an institution is not provided).

Tips for transforming main rooms
Ideally, a home that welcomes old age is one that conforms to universal home design principles. The main areas of the house, such as the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, will be on the same floor, and the open floor plan will help improve mobility.
General Tips
Some of the proposed improvements are not specific to any particular room, but should be made in all rooms, from the living room to garage.
In addition to making sure that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors work in all rooms, there are a few other precautions to take:
-
Change conventional door handles to lever ones: they require less effort to open doors.
-
Remove mats or add a non-slip underlay: mats are a slip and trip hazard. If it is not possible to remove all mats, equip them with non-slip strips on the bottom to reduce risks.
-
Eliminate clutter: Get rid of all unnecessary and infrequently used items so that the elderly person does not have to go around the whole house in search of the right thing.Keep all frequently used items in open spaces and easily accessible.
-
Hide any used cords behind sofas, tables, or attach them to the perimeter skirting boards so they can't be tripped over.
-
Install video monitoring: Most video monitoring systems have their own mobile applications so that you can check whether everything is in order with an elderly person from anywhere in the world. If you are modifying a house not for yourself, but for loved ones, then ask their permission before installing a tracking system.
-
Change your lighting to bright LED bulbs: Install bright, glare-free lighting to improve visibility throughout your home. At the same time, it may be worth thinking about equipping lamps with chain switches, which will not be too tight.
-
Install switches at both ends of the rooms: additional switches ensure that the elderly do not have to move around in the dark.
-
Install double handrails on all stairs: being able to grab onto the handrail on both sides of the stairs increases stability.
-
Provide 1.5m x 1.5m turning spaces: if a walker or wheelchair becomes necessary for mobility, there should be such spaces in all main spaces to enable the person to turn easily.
-
Widen doorways to a minimum of 1 m: this is necessary for convenient wheelchair access.
-
Install an electronic thermostat with big numbers: electronic thermostats with easy-to-use buttons and a large display are a simple home modification that allows you to maintain a comfortable level of heat.
How to register a person in a nursing home - necessary documents and admission conditions

A nursing home is a boarding school designed for living alone elderly people. Before entering a nursing home, a candidate must undergo a medical examination, collect a large package of documents, wait for a vacancy to appear and receive a paper on his placement in a social institution.
Despite the negative assessments of Russian boarding houses for the elderly, the queues of those wishing to get there do not decrease, and there are almost always no free places. Living in a boarding house can be an outlet for lonely old people and those who cannot take care of themselves and need constant care.
When deciding on living in a nursing home, it should be remembered that the conditions there are far from cloudless, and it may be difficult for people who are used to living separately.
Accommodation options
An elderly person in need of assistance can be assigned to a social institution by his relatives, who are unable to provide him with proper care. If he is relatively healthy and makes decisions on his own, for placement in a nursing home, you need to obtain his consent.
There are various options for social institutions, which depend on the state of health of the person defined in them:
- boarding schools for the elderly with disabilities;
- boarding houses;
- nursing home.
Before you determine which one is the most suitable, you need to undergo a medical examination.
Training
Legislatively, the issue of determining a pensioner in a nursing home is regulated by the Federal Law "On guardianship and guardianship". According to its provisions, one of the options for supervision can be issued in relation to:
- war veteran;
- a disabled person who has a formalized 1 or 2 group;
- pensioners;
- old people who have no relatives who could take care of them.
Preceding the registration is a medical examination. It is voluminous and can take a long time. Required research includes:
- fluorography;
- HIV tests;
- tests for other infections;
- examination by a gynecologist;
- conclusion of narrow specialists and a commission for pensioners registered for special diseases (psychiatrist).
Registration procedure
After passing the commission, the candidate must contact the social security service and provide the following documents:
- statement;
- a copy of the passport;
- policy;
- an extract from the card;
- results of the medical commission with all analyzes and conclusions;
- certificate of sanitary and epidemiological well-being.
For those who cannot move independently, such a service as a call to a specialist at home is provided.
Payment for accommodation
The service is not free even for those who book a ticket to a state boarding house. When concluding a contract, two methods of payment are possible:
- from the pension by deducting 75%, the remaining 25% remains at the disposal of the recipient;
- payment is made entirely by relatives.
The property owned by an old man living in a boarding house passes to relatives. If they are not, it can be transferred to a social institution or the state.
Private nursing homes
Compared to the state counterpart, private institutions have more comfortable living conditions. Their main disadvantage is the cost. In the capitals, the price of a stay per day fluctuates around 1,500 rubles. A decent amount comes up every month.
Benefits of a private boarding house:
- constant supervision of specialists;
- comfortable living conditions;
- organization of leisure and medical procedures;
- good food.
To conclude an agreement with a private house, it is also required to prepare documents.
The nursing home is not a prison: people go there of their own free will and can go out of it at any time. Termination of the contract is possible at the initiative of the old man or for violation of the conditions of stay.
Before you place a person in a house, you should find out the living conditions specified in the contract and the list of services provided, especially when it comes to the need to provide medical care.
Top Tips for Furnishing a Room in a Nursing Home
- Comfort and safety are a priority. There should be everything you need and nothing more. Low thresholds, a bed at a low height, comfortable lockers, etc. - everything needs to be thought out from the standpoint of convenience for the elderly. It is also necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the guest. For example, a bedridden patient needs a good orthopedic bed.
- Room location. If the nursing home building has an elevator, the rooms must be on the upper floors. Thanks to this position, the pensioner will have an excellent view from the window and will not be disturbed by extraneous odors - the air on the upper floors is better. If there is no elevator, it is better to place the rooms on the ground floor away from the dining room, public areas, hall, etc. So the guests will not be disturbed by noises and smells, and they will be able to relax. If you cannot do without a ladder, the steps should be wide, low and in a minimal amount. The thresholds of the house should be either low or absent altogether. Thanks to this, the guest can easily get to his room.
- The design should be simple and traditional. Older people like an understandable classic.Pastel and natural tones, neat and calm patterns, high-quality materials, functionality are welcome.
Psychological comfort of the elderly in nursing homes
It is no secret that after moving into a nursing home, older people do not feel very comfortable. A new place, environment, schedule and daily routine can bring psychological discomfort. In order to prevent this, the employees of the institution talk about the institution, introduce them to the guests and staff, and try to answer any questions that have arisen.
Over time, the staff studies habits, behavior patterns and analyzes how comfortable a person is. In nursing homes there is always a psychotherapist who is available for communication at any time. If an elderly person's behavior or attitude towards himself, other guests, his life or relatives changes, the employees will definitely do everything possible to prevent negative emotions or judgments.
A person must be in a comfortable psychological environment, not have problems with communication. If an elderly person and his relatives have disagreements, the psychologist is ready to have a conversation and bring clarity and understanding to the conflict.
Time for a change
Understanding that a grandmother or grandfather is no longer doing a very good job with household activities sometimes occurs overnight in young family members. Well, if before a serious injury happened (after all, older people rarely admit that they fall if they were able to stand up on their own). How to understand that it's time to change something in the apartment of your grandmother or mother, even if you don't know how to start a conversation about it?
With old age comes weakness.Who dug the garden - reduces the number of beds or even quits digging. Who used the toilet on the street - it is already difficult for him to get there, especially in the dark or in winter, he can no longer quickly get dressed, run there quickly enough. Those who live in an apartment go outside less often and with difficulty. Grandmother stops wiping up what has spilled (or spilled in the evening - she wipes it in the morning), maintain her usual degree of cleanliness. These are the first indicators that it is time to change something.
If an elderly person began to walk less cheerfully, began to shuffle his feet, you should immediately think about how to minimize the risk of falling. Bones in older people are more brittle than in younger people, and there is a high risk of, for example, a hip fracture, and this radically changes the quality and lifestyle.
How to become a tenant of a special apartment for single pensioners?
To get an area in a special house, you need to register with social authorities at the place of permanent residence and sign up in the queue for the provision of such an apartment or room. Only single people of retirement age can apply for it (for women it is 55 years old, for men - 60 years old), or single disabled people (in this case, the age threshold is reduced by five years). The same conditions apply to single married couples.
To register, you need to write an application, bring a medical report on the state of health and an act of examination of living conditions. The act is drawn up after a survey of the pensioner's place of residence by representatives of social authorities and members of veteran organizations. The document must indicate that the person needs to improve their living conditions.
New rules
The Ministry of Construction at the end of December 2019 approved an amended set of rules (SP) for the design and construction of nursing homes. This was reported to Izvestia in the press service of the department. They clarified that the new rules were worked out jointly with the Ministry of Labor and the All-Russian Associations of the Disabled. The proposals of the participants of last year's competition for the best design of houses for the older generation were also used.
The new rules clarify the requirements for the construction of such houses. Thus, the restriction of living space of 8 square meters has been removed. m per person, the width of corridors for wheelchair users has been increased to 2 m, a requirement has been introduced to create special latrines for the disabled. In addition, the document has a section "Ensuring fire safety", which was previously absent, the Ministry of Construction said.
The everyday problems of those living in nursing homes have been talked about for a long time, member noted. public council at Ministry of Construction Rifat Garipov. According to the NP World of the Older Generation, about 280,000 beds in such institutions are currently occupied in the country, although in fact more than 630,000 beds are required. In 10 years, the need for such institutions will grow to 1 million places.
According to Aleksey Sidnev, manager of the Senior Group, the homes for the elderly that operate today are mainly Soviet boarding houses for the elderly and disabled and psycho-neurological boarding schools.
–– Living conditions in them are far from modern notions of comfort and human dignity, – said the expert.
Of the 280,000 beds, about 50,000 are in good condition, mostly in refurbished Soviet boarding schools.10 years ago, private nursing homes began to appear, but today there are only a few network operators, said the CEO of S.A. Ricci Alexander Morozov.
How is the clearance
In order to register a person in a state nursing home, one should do the following:
- apply to the social security authorities with an application for the provision of care and maintenance services for an elderly person;
- social protection authorities verify the information provided on the need to provide this type of service to a specific person and decide on the need to provide such an opportunity;
- within five working days, a decision must be made on the provision of care services in a specialized institution or on the refusal of such a service;
- if the authorized body refused to provide the service, then such a decision can be appealed to the court. And in this case, the decision on the situation will be made by the judicial body, where the request was sent to challenge the decision.
In order to confirm the validity of the appeal to the social protection authorities, various evidence can be used:
- testimonials from people who can be recognized as neighbors of the pensioner who is being considered for placement in a state nursing home;
- inspection of the place of residence or stay of a person with an assessment of the existing living conditions;
- holding a special commission that determines the mental and physiological state of a person;
- the result of a psychiatric examination carried out on the basis of a special judicial act, which will show the actual mental state of a person.
Thus, if we are talking about a private nursing home, which are called nursing homes, then it is easier to get into it, since it is enough to write an application and conclude a service agreement. In order to get into a state institution, it is necessary that there are grounds for the provision of such services, and it is also necessary to prepare an evidence base that can confirm this fact. Otherwise, a refusal may be issued.
Outcome
If you want or have to move to a nursing home, you should allow the elderly to choose where exactly he would like to settle. Freedom of choice will ensure confidence in one's own choice and will not allow quarrels between relatives. Each nursing home differs from others in its rules, daily routine, location, price. Caring for your loved one is also manifested in such a way that relatives are willing to pay for the excellent maintenance and leisure of an elderly person. Moving to a nursing home should not be taken as a rejection of a relative, on the contrary, in this way the family shows that they want the best and are ready to provide freedom of choice.
