Permanent care of a relative. Registration procedure

Permanent care of a relative and the procedure for its registration is an important procedure for those who need constant help due to their state of health and cannot independently take care of themselves in everyday life. This may be due to age, illness or disability limiting their independence. However, many people do not have sufficient knowledge about the process of organizing permanent care and the formalities associated with its registration. In this article, we will look at the procedure for obtaining permanent care for a relative and provide useful information on this topic.

What is permanent care?

Continuing family care is a type of medical care that is provided to people with disabilities, the elderly, or those who have certain medical problems that prevent them from functioning normally in daily life. In continuous care, the guardian ensures that the necessary assistance is provided in accordance with the individual needs of each person.

Who can care for someone in need?

Under the law, care may be provided by nurses, professional caregivers, or relatives who take responsibility for the care of their loved ones.

Relatives include the following:

• parents;
• children;
• adoptive parents;
• brothers and sisters;
• grandparents;
• grandchildren;
• other direct relatives.

What benefits does the guardian get if he/she implements permanent care?

According to the current legislation of the Law of Ukraine "On social services", first of all, the caretaker receives compensation from the state for the provision of his services. As well as the possibility of enrolling this care in the insurance period of the guardian, who, because of this, cannot work.
