The program “Help at Home” is one of the most important programs of a social nature that began to be implemented as a pilot in 1998 by theLocal government κand due to the huge appeal in the local community, it became an “institution” and continues to this day the uninterrupted provision of primary care to the citizens.
It is aimed at elderly people who are not fully self-sufficient and people with mobility impairments and special problems, with priority given to those who live alone or do not have full family care or whose income does not allow them to secure the required services for improving their quality of life.
The purpose of the program is to improve the quality of life of the elderly as well as persons with mobility or other special problems (PWD), to assist independent and dignified living, to support the family environment of the beneficiaries and to promote the employment of skilled and specialized personnel.
The program provides counseling and psychological support, nursing care and family assistance.
The smooth operation of the program is ensured by a specialized and well-organized Action Team in each structure (Ano Liosia, Zefyri, Hasia), which consists of administrative employees, social workers, sociologists, social anthropologist, psychotherapist, nurses and family assistants.
The social workers of the program have the overall supervision of the beneficiaries, evaluating the incidents, providing social support, contacting co-competent agencies and referring incidents that are not related to the services of the program.
Those served benefit from the primary health services offered by the program’s nurses, which include home visits to measure and record vital signs, prescribe medications, and accompany them to hospitals for their scheduled examinations..
