The Councilor for Social Rights of the City of Murcia, Conchita Ruiz, presented this morning before the Board of Spokesmen the draft of the new domiciliary care ordinance, which will govern the service of assistance in the home, until now called Home Help.
Since 1984, the City of Murcia manages and provides the Home Help Service, conceived as a public service and basic program of support for the coexistence unit within the framework of the Primary Care System of Social Services, through which it is guaranteed to the beneficiaries a series of domestic and personal attentions that favor the permanence in their habitual environment of coexistence.
However, the existence of the Law for the Promotion of Personal Autonomy and Care for People in Situations of Dependency obliges us to configure a new model of Home Help, "which must be oriented towards prevention and attention centered on the person not dependent, adapting the supports according to the different levels of personal and social risk, prioritizing those family situations in which there is greater social vulnerability or situations of child vulnerability ", explained Conchita Ruiz.
From this perspective, the beneficiary persons and families will find in this service a support that allows them to stay as long as possible in their home, integration into their community environment, and the maintenance and / or improvement of the level of personal and social autonomy. .
"The novelty is the expansion of the profile of new recipients by incorporating situations such as multiple births, support for the care of children at risk or vulnerability, homeless or other similar problems that require immediate and timely attention or people with situations We are talking about terminally ill patients with therapeutic processes that require support or temporary support, "he added.
A regulation in which the contents of the service are more precisely detailed, differentiating personal, domestic, psychosocial and educational tasks and other tasks that can be carried out outside the home.
"To this is added the urgent procedure and the ex officio promotion by professionals, in exceptional situations that require extraordinary intervention, as well as an emergency service provision modality for exceptional or exceptional situations." , remarked the Councilor for Social Rights.
On the other hand, and with the sole objective of optimizing the resources used and favoring a greater scope among the users, incompatibility with the benefits contemplated with the System of attention to the Unit is established in those cases susceptible of being incorporated to said system, although it is possible to maintain the service or to be provided while the corresponding one of the system of attention to the dependency is not granted.
Finally, there is a limit on the income to be a recipient of the service (for new applications, respecting those cases that were granted in accordance with the previous regulations).
Once it has been presented to the groups, it will be published in the Portal of Transparency and it is expected to be able to finally approve the ordinance in the month of April.
