Home for the Elderly "Sveti Nikola" is located in Negotin and is likely in an ideal position for its intended purpose.
It is situated on the main road, on the left side, just 50 meters from the bus stop, immediately after entering Negotin. It is only separated by a fence from the Negotin Health Center.
Across from the home is a park-forest filled with greenery and much-needed fresh air.
The home features a courtyard with plenty of flowers and shade, ensuring a pleasant stay for residents outdoors.
Additionally, it has its own parking space, making it welcoming even for a large number of visitors.
The facility is purpose-built, with thick walls (excellent insulation), high ceilings, air conditioning, central heating, running water, and its own water source, greatly exceeding the standards required for such an institution.
Rooms are available in double, triple, and multi-bed arrangements, equipped with televisions and other comforts as desired by the residents.
Some rooms are specifically designed and specially equipped to accommodate immobile individuals. These are complemented by accompanying restroom facilities, which even exceed the home's needs.
The home also includes a kitchen, dining room, spacious living room, therapy treatment area, clinic, office space for staff, and dedicated offices for a social worker and doctor.
Within the home, there is a standalone internal medicine clinic operating under a 24-hour contractual obligation to the facility.
Great importance is placed on professional work. Although the law allows for the employment of less-trained personnel, the care team consists of staff with secondary and higher medical education, available 24 hours a day. During regular working hours, a doctor and social worker are on hand, and consultations with various specialists are also possible.
Staff are prohibited from bringing personal problems to work, and the home's motto is: "The resident is always right!"
Residents do not take their medications independently; instead, they are administered by healthcare professionals according to doctors' instructions.
Meals are tailored to the individual needs of the residents.
As for personal hygiene, even the classic excuse, “Again?!”, doesn't prevent thorough care.
Every day, the creators of this story think and dream about how to further enrich and expand this space. If they succeed, they plan to reserve a spot for their own well-deserved retirement.
