Bratislava municipality district also participates in financing of social service facility. Cooperation between the Department of Social Affairs in Bratislava as well as the Department of Social Affairs in Trnava and the non-profit organization runs on very high level.
Because of the expiration of the five-year period there was a change in the structure of the Management Board
and change of non profit organization auditor during 2013. The Managment Board at its meeting held on 02.09.2013 elected new Board members for a term of 06.10.2013 -05.10.2018: Viera Mecirovâ, Lucia Cibulkova and Bozena Dusikovâ. Mrs. Viera Mecirovâ was elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Pavol Butas was elected as nonprofit organization auditor.
The annual budget is prepared by the Management Board.
Non-profit organization financing is secured from several sources, including [6]:
• 1. Revenue from clients
• 2. Revenue from Trnava municipality district and Bratislava municipality district
• 3. 2% tax
• 4. Rental of space
• 5. Gifts
• 6.Profits and interest
Social service facility is financed from sources above. These finances cover - accommodation, meals, salaries, energy, rent and other. Bookeeping is managed by outsourced company.
As of 30.08.2015 the non-profit organization records 15 employees, including 12 caregivers (two on mothernity leave), one driver - handyman /one operating officer, and one executive director. Four employees have signed performance contract. These employees provide auxiliary work such as cleaning, work in the garden and so on.
Quantity and quality improvment of social services is subject to constant upgrading of expertise all workers, especially workers in direct contact with clients. Employees
are sent to various training courses and seminars on issues related to the provision of social services. Every newly recruited employee has completed psychological tests of his or hers ability to perform work in the field under supervision of psychlogical clinic. Non-profit organization managed to create a stable working team with low staff turnover, which has a positive impact on improving the quality of social servicesas well as clients's well-being. Non-profit organization works closely with:
• SCK - enables applicants for caregiver/carer trainig in social service facility
• ZUS Senica elementary school: cultural - social events
• Domka n.o: offers students studying social work and nursing to work in the social service facility
A non-profit organization has not yet created a separate position of social worker. This job is performed by director and/ or operating staff. Within this area we provide comprehensive social agenda. In particular, the advice, decisions about handling, care, pensions have been dealt with clients and their private affairs when asked about this. The emphasis is on keeping in touch with relatives and guardians, we dealt with identity cards, umlauts pensions contacts with the courts, banking institutions, state and local government.
As mentioned earlier, the fundamental aim of nonprofit organization activities is the operation of facilities for persons dependent on the continuous long-term care pursuant to the Act no. 448/2008 Coll on social services on the amendment of Act no. 455/1991 Coll. on Trades (Trade Act), as amended. [4] These are clients with a combination of physical, mental or sensory disabilities who are dependent on others when responding to a security basal basic living conditions and necessary living activities by another person. The social service facility provides care for its clients all year round. The facility is located in the outskirts of the city.The building has undergone extensive renovation, insulation of the whole building, replacing windows. It is wheelchair accessible. The overall interior decoration recalls the utmost home. Clients are admitted to a final decision of reliance on the provision of social services and on their request for the service in social service facility. Upon adoption of client the contract is concluded. Day mode is fully adapted to the individual needs of each client. Social service facility is trying to break down stereotypes in all activities so as to minimize the characteristics typical of the operation of the institution. Clients perceive this environment in which they live very positively.
Social service facility currently have 30 clients. Most of them come from Trnava municipal district, there are also clients from Bratislava municipality distric. The average age of client is 78 years. 60 percent of clients are women. There is also one married couple living in the social service facility. The average length of stay is four years.
The most common reason for placing the client to this type of facility is his/hers inability to properly take care of yourself. This group includes, for example, clients with mental disabilities, clients bedridden. Then there are the clients who have lost their long-standing partner and find it difficult to live at home lonely so they choose often in agreement with the family to live in social service facility such as „Penzion Vlasta".
Clients are accommodated in single, double and triple rooms on the ground floor or first floor, equipped with
furniture, with Wireless Internet access and TV in every room. On the ground floor there is dining room, which can be also used as a lounge or as aspace available for different therapies. In warmer months therapies can also be performed outdoors. There is a comfortable seating as well as vegetable garden for those more active. Part of the facility is a dog. Special therapies are not yet available.
Catering - social service facility provides diet meals five to six times a day by the contractor - private school Senica. Food is balanced and prepared in accordance with nutritional standards. Menus are agreed upon on a doctor and the our delivery company is able quickly solve any comments and requests. As an example- the client who has diabetes always have well tailored diet.
Health care for clients of social service facility in Senica is provided by contractual family doctor in the facilty on a regular basis: For expert examinations clients are taken to nearby hospitals in Skalica, Myjava or Malacky. The social service facility keeps complete medical documentation of each client, the client's daily blood pressure measurements, pulse, daily record of the results of activities within individual development plans specifically made for each client, and another operational records also records of incidents in customer's behavior.
Additional services or services on demand for clients include: pedicure, manicure, cosmetics, hairdresser, etc. These services are paid by client himself/herself. Social service facilty provides on request other services on client demand. Family members can also visit without restriction. Mobile clients often spend weekends with their families.
The social service facility offers its clients variety of leisure activities within their capabilities, skills and health. Careworkers respect freedom of movement, choice of clothing and the overall appearence of clients. Requirements and interests of the clients, however, must comply with the non-profit organization facilitis . Great attention is paid to organization of meaningful leisure activities of its clients. Each client is treated individually (the preparation of an individual development plan), careworkers sensitively observe his/hers abilities, realities and interests and these interest are either continuously developed or maintained . Client's confidence is encouraged it reinforces his/ hers self-image, which is subsequently reflected in to the quality of living in social service facility. Many clients focus on spiritual acitivies therefore to clients who express an interest once a month a local Catholic priest visits clients at social service facility and treats them according to their need and wishes. If clients are interested to attend mass they are accompanied to the mass by staff. Masses take place in local Catholic church in Senica. Clients also participate in various cultural and social events organized in Senica. „Penzion Vlasta" organizes birthday parties with live music and birthday cake, trying to break down the sense of anonymity. Celebrations often involve family members or friends of clients. Over the summer the nonprofit organization Oaza zivota organizes barbecues for clients and their families. The atmosphere of these meetings is very cordial.
Within individual development plans, careworkers and staff focuse on practicing fine motor skills. This social service facility uses appropriate medical devices and technologies. As part of the therapy clients actively participate in „ do it yourself" activities. Themes of activities vary according to the seasons or holidays- manufacture
of articles made of chestnuts during the autumn months, making of Christmas decorations, drawing Easter eggs, in the spring and over the summer it is the flower arrangement and above mentioned work in the vegetable garden.
The non-profit organization Oaza zivota takes exemplary care of its cliets, providing them with homely environment. Careworkers and staff of social service facility approach each client individually, atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. The client does not feel alone. The non-profit organization Oaza zivota helps its clients build the new friendships remain active regardless of age or health restrictions. Clients maintain friendly relations among themselves.
Society nowadays mainly focuses on people in their production age. Older people or people with health limitations are often marginalized or seen as unnecessary. We should realize these people were also once in productive stage of their life, they had interests, friends, and change of the status for them is one of the biggest life
change. We should encouraged and help organizations and institutions that focus on this this group of people to remain active in the thick of things, not allowing them to remain isolated from society and and we should seek the right way to reintegrate them into mainstream society.
