available Rapid progress brings not only achievements and benefits, but also new world problems - humanity is “aging”. In 2018, for the first time, the number of people over 65 years of age in the world exceeded the number of children under 5 years of age.
The problem is also relevant for Russia: in 2012, the number of residents of our country aged 60 years and older was 26.5 million people (almost 19%), and by 2030, according to the official demographic forecast, the proportion of the population aged 65 years and older will exceed 28%.
Many older people need help: people with severe senile asthenia who begin with dementia, and especially those who are bedridden, require constant care. As part of the implementation of the national project “Demography” in Russia, a pilot project was launched in 2017 to create a long-term care system - a program designed to provide elderly people and people with disabilities with a decent life . By 2022, it is expected to be implemented in all 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The program should ensure full coverage of those in need of care, their classification depending on their health status and social and living conditions, and the development of individual programs for receiving social services.
Hospital-replacing technologies should become an important component of the modern long-term care system, since to improve the quality In the life of the patient, it is important to keep him in a family environment, and only as a last resort, when total round-the-clock care is needed, placement in a boarding school is possible. In this regard, it is necessary to organize training for caregivers in correct and ergonomic care technologies, provide them with the necessary equipment, technical means of rehabilitation, and modern consumables materials.
