ASSISTANCE SERVICES FOR FAMILIES AND OLD PEOPLE

HOME CARE SERVICE*DEPARTMENT

This department interferes on behalf of families, old people, sick and/or disabled people who face problems in order to help them in their everyday life.
The specificity of this department is to interfere on personal, collective, preventive and curative levels.
The social role of familiar aid is to enable people to stay at home and to maintain comfort and optimal life quality.
All the performed tasks participate in those people’s everyday well-being and involves various fields:

- Everyday life support (household, ironing, meal preparing...)
- Sanitary role
- Relational support
- Educational role
- Administrative assistance
The Department closely collaborates with the sanitary contributors, who are all social and medical workers in the following municipalities: Durbuy, Erezée, Hotton, La Roche, Manhay, Marche, Rendeux and Tenneville.
The cost per hour of familiar aid performances varies with income level, the number of people needing home care services and those people’s disablility degree.
* Since January 1st, 2005 we have had 2 home care takers whose mission is to assist the beneficiaries needing a continuous presence at home (complementing family circle and home care services).
