This was announced by the capital’s mayor, Ion Cheban, who emphasised the demand for such initiatives amongst the city’s residents.

The new facilities are intended to serve as spaces where the older generation can not only receive qualified care, advice and social support, but also spend time in a comfortable environment for socialising and leisure activities.

To date, with the support of Chisinau City Council, two similar facilities are already operating successfully and have set an example for the country: the Centre for the Elderly in the village of Budești and the Adult Education Centre in the Cocana sector. Ion Ceban highlighted the uniqueness of this model: “Such services are unique to our country. I am referring to day centres where they can meet, socialise, receive assistance, advice, support and much more.”

In view of the growing interest and high demand for such services, the city authorities have taken steps to launch additional centres as soon as possible. “In the near future, within the next few weeks, we plan to open two such centres,” emphasised Ion Cheban.

As part of the preparations for the launch, the relevant departments have been instructed to speed up all related processes, paying particular attention to initiatives discussed with social workers and in the context of supporting people with special needs. A full report on the current stage of work regarding the opening of the new centres is due to be presented next week.
