Since April 2020, the\u00a0Social Protection Institute of Republic of Slovenia (IRSSV)<\/a>\u00a0and the social protection institution Dom na Krasu (Home in the Kras) have been cooperating on the project Deinstitutionalisation of Dom na Krasu, co-financed by the European Union from the\u00a0European Social Fund<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The project aims to transform the\u00a0Dom na Krasu institution<\/a>, following the Common European Guidelines for the Transition to Community Forms of Care. As a partner on the project, IRSSV provides professional support for implementing deinstitutionalization.<\/p>\n

Dom na Krasu has started operating as a special social welfare institution in 1992, providing institutional care for adults with mental health challenges and intellectual disabilities.
\nThe institution provides primary care (accommodation, cleaning, laundry, organizing transport, food, maintenance of premises and surroundings), social care (personal hygiene, daily activities, maintaining and developing independence, social relations, work occupation, active leisure, personal and social distress relief) and health care, including physiotherapy and occupational therapy.<\/p>\n

The process of deinstitutionalization at the institute started in 2003. Since then, 52 users have moved from the institution to housing groups and housing units at seven different locations.<\/p>\n

Similar to CUDV \u010crna na Koro\u0161kem, the long-term vision of Dom na Krasu is to transform the institution into a network of various community services for people experiencing long-term mental distress and for people with intellectual disabilities.<\/p>\n

We want to achieve that the life of Dom na Krasu residents is as close as possible to everyday life in the community by:<\/p>\n
