Nursing home

Vostretsov believes, that Russia is developing at an active pace - kindergartens and schools are being built. Besides, today it is difficult to imagine an educational institution, eg, without pool. However, another category of citizens also needs protection of the state - the elderly., therefore, the number of nursing homes is actively growing in the country.

“The state has embarked on the path of development, in the 90s we couldn't even dream about it. Kindergartens and schools are being built. Moreover, it is now impossible to imagine a new school or kindergarten without a pool.. The growing up of the state is not only about caring for children: another category needs protection - elderly parents. The state is developing a system of dispensaries and nursing homes ", - he said.

Sergey Vostretsov noted, what today exists in the country 1,5 thousand. private institutions, where senior citizens and people with disabilities live, but only 255 of which are included in the register and controlled by the state. Therefore, State Duma deputies intend to amend the three laws in force, to settle the issue with private nursing homes. Such institutions will be obliged to undergo state licensing..

This will be controlled by the Federal Service for Labor and Employment. To open a private nursing home, you will need to go through the appropriate licensing stage. The market will become transparent and understandable and will develop more. The procedure will take place gradually - within two to three years ", - pointed out Vostretsov.

“2/3 of the income goes to pensions. The decision to raise the retirement age was not made because of a good life. We made this decision one of the last in the world, pulled to the last. There was a choice - to give all the money to the oil and gas industry in retirement, but then the infrastructure would have lost them. To make pensions grow, we need to develop the economy ", - said Sergey Vostretsov.
