Care at home provides support for the care of a child with disabilities (e.g. food, food preparation, dressing, positioning, body hygiene and care for appearance, medication use), monitoring, self-care capacity development and meaningful leisure. The family may choose a service provider * with which the local government concludes a contract for co-financing the payment of the service or the grant of a voucher up to EUR 490 per month. The RSD carries out an assessment of the family situation but does not value family income. The service cannot be provided by parents and family members living in the same place of residence.
* the national information system “Register of social service providers” registers the provider of the care home.
