Abstract

Staranje prebivalstva in s tem deleža starostnikov zahteva spremembe tudi na področju osebnostne oskrbe starostnikov. Kljub izrazito institucionalni usmerjenosti, je potrebno v smislu zagotavljanja pravice do neodvisnega in samostojnega življenja v starosti pričeti z uvedbo postopka deinstitucionalizacije, kot posledice ki jo predvideva dolgotrajna oskrba. Dolgotrajna oskrba mora združevati splošno dostopnost podpornih storitev uporabnikom, visoko stopnjo njihove kakovosti in dolgoročno finančno vzdržnost. Starostnikom je potrebno ponuditi čim širši nabor podpornih storitev, ki jim bodo pod finančno dostopnimi pogoji omogočale življenje v domačem okolju in s tem kasnejšo institucionalizacijo. V ospredje je potrebno postaviti starostnika, njegove potrebe in spoštovanje njegove volje in ga obravnavati kot enakopravnega člana naše družbe. Z deninstitucionalizacijo osebnostne oskrbe starostnikov bi starostnikom omogočili možnost, da se svobodno odločajo kje bodo koristil podporne storitve doma ali v instituciji. Kljub vsemu pa jim je potrebno zagotoviti nemoteno zdravstveno in socialno oskrbo, dostopno pod enakimi pogoji, možnost izbire med formalno in neformalno oskrbo, možnost namestitve v stanovanjske skupine, pri čemer pa ne sme priti do kršitev pravic do zdravstvene oskrbe in zmanjšanja kvalitete življenja starostnika. Celoten postopek bo spremljala celovita preobrazba, kamor se bodo morali poleg starostnikov vključevati tudi svojci, lokalna skupnost, izvajalci socialnovarstvenih storitev, izvajalci zdravstvenih storitev, prostovoljci, formalni in neformalni oskrbovalci, društva in drugi podporniki. Deinstitucionalizacija pomeni spremeniti pogled na staranje in starostnika. To pa ne pomeni, da institucij ne potrebujemo več. Institucije bodo še vedno imele pomembno vlogo pri izvajanju socialnovarstvenih in zdravstvenih storitev za starostnike v tistih primerih, ko starostnik iz zdravstvenih, socialnih ali iz drugih razlogov ne bomo mogel ostati v domačem okolju, upoštevajoč starostnikove subjektivne in objektivne okoliščine. Deinstitucionalizacija bo doprinesla k preoblikovanju obstoječih institucij, kljub vsemu pa bo za institucijo pomenila uresničitev temeljnega koncepta pri zagotavljanju osebnostne avtonomije starostnika pri izbiri namestitve s čimer pa se zagotavlja pravica do kakovostne, primerne in varne oskrbe starostnika. Deinstitucionalizacija bo zagotavljala proces vzporednega razvoja raznovrstnih podpornih storitev, ki bodo dosegljive vsem uporabnikom s tem pa dolgoročno zmanjšala število institucionalnih namestitev.

Secondary title: The Deinstitutionalization of Personal Care of the Elderly
Secondary abstract: Population ageing and thereby the share of elderly persons growing require changes also in the field of personal care of the elderly. In spite of a distinct institutional stance, it is necessary, for the purpose of ensuring the right to independent and self-reliant life in the old age, to begin with the implementation of the de-institutionalization process, of a consequence foreseen by the long-term care. Long-term care has to incorporate the general accessibility of support services to the users, high degree of their quality and long-term financial sustainability. Elderly persons need to be offered as wide as possible selection of support services, enabling them a life in their home environment under affordable conditions and thereby postponing their institutionalization. Elderly persons, their needs and respect for their will have to be brought into the foreground and they must be treated as equal members of our society. By deinstitutionalizing personal care of the elderly, they would be given a possibility to freely decide where they want to use support services, at home or in an institution. Nevertheless, uninterrupted health and social care must be ensured for them, available under the same conditions, the possibility of choice between formal and informal care, the possibility of accommodation in apartment communities, whereby no breach of rights to health care and no decrease in the quality of an elderly person’s life may occur. The entire process will be accompanied by a comprehensive transformation which, in addition to the elderly, will include their relatives, the local community, social assistance providers, health service providers, volunteers, formal and informal caretakers, associations and other stakeholders. Deinstitutionalization means to change the perspective on the process of aging and the elderly. This, however, does not mean that we no longer need the institutions. The institutions will continue to have an important role in providing social assistance and health care services to the elderly persons in cases where an elderly person can no longer stay in the home environment due to health, social or other reasons, taking into consideration subjective as well as objective circumstances. Deinstitutionalization will contribute to the transformation of the existing institutions and will, nevertheless, for the institution be a realization of the fundamental concept with regard to ensuring personal autonomy of an elderly person when choosing accommodation thereby ensuring the right to a quality, suitable and safe care of an elderly person. Deinstitutionalization will provide for a process of simultaneous development of diverse support services, which will be available to all users, thereby decreasing the number of institutional accommodations in the long run.
