An ERDF-funded project in Vaslui County in Romania aims to improve the care of 200 disabled adults who are currently inpatients in the Recovery and Rehabilitation Centre in the town of Huși.
Vaslui County in Romania has an ageing population with little support, due to many younger adults either leaving the region or the country to work elsewhere. This leaves a number of elderly people in need of help or faced with a difficult choice between moving into care or staying in their own homes.
This project will aim to deinstitutionalise 200 adults resident in the county by developing a number of protected homes, day centres and retirement homes. Three protected homes are planned for the village of Găgești, each catering for eight people.
