Homecare Services
Citizen Advice Bureau Oradea The Counselling and Support Centre for Parents and Children |
The Ruhama Foundation is an accredited provider of social services since 2003, when it laid the groundwork for services of homecare for the elderly and people with disabilities. Later, the range of homecare services was extended to include medical care at the request of the beneficiaries, most of whom are immobilized and have difficult access to medical services. Concurrently, correlating the Phare financing opportunities with the social needs of the citizens, the foundation set up a new service: the Citizen Advice Bureau in Oradea, which provides free information and counselling services on a daily basis since October 2002. The most recently created social service is the Counselling and Support Centre for Parents and Children, launched in 2007, whose purpose is to solve social cases identified in the daily field work in disadvantaged communities, especially in order to help families maintain/reintegrate children in school. During the 6 years of continuous supply of social services, the Ruhama Foundation has helped the public authorities in Bihor County with the development and improvement of social services indispensable to the Romanian society. With the foundation’s support, the following social services, taken over by the authorities, were developed: the Counselling and Information Centre in Tinca with the partnership of the Tinca Town Hall; the “Cuore” Temporary Centre for Children in Oradea with the partnership of the Oradea Social Community Administration; the Children’s Day Centre in Haieu, the “Prichindel” Children’s Day Centre in Rontau, the Social Canteen and the Community Centre for Information and Counselling in Sanmartin in partnership with Sanmartin Town Hall; the Day Centre for the Elderly in Alesd and the Social Canteen in Alesd in partnership with Alesd City Hall. In 2008 the Ruhama Foundation starts to develop two multifunctional social centres for the Roma communities in Alesd-Obor and Telechiu, in partnership with Alesd City Hall and Tetchea Town Hall, whose main function will be that of an educational day centre for children.
