The municipality of Bijelo Polje has announced that the work of geronto-homemakers in that municipality will continue this year as well.
The elderly housewives were received by the President of the Municipality, Petar Smolović, who pointed out that the Municipality has been supporting the project for years by providing funds from the budget.
Smolović also signed a new contract with the OO of the Red Cross for the continuation of the geronto-homemakers project.
"The value of the project is 50 euros and eight geronto housewives and one nurse will be employed. Through three projects in Bijelo Polje, 27 geronto housewives and two nurses have been hired to visit more than 200 users," Smolović said.
The coordinator of the municipal Red Cross, Mašan Živković, thanked the local self-government and President Smolović on behalf of the beneficiaries for the very important project, which will greatly facilitate the living conditions of the elderly citizens.
"The local self-government and the municipal Red Cross will continue to pay special attention to elderly fellow citizens in the coming period, not only through this program but also through a number of others that we are implementing," said Živković.
Gerontodomáćice provide services to the users of the program: procurement of food, help in preparing meals, help with movement, help in maintaining personal hygiene and space hygiene, help in paying bills, mediation in the provision of various types of services for the maintenance of the apartment and household appliances, procurement of medicines and taking for examinations.
