Currently, it is difficult to find a care home for people with serious illnesses.
The state support system does not help care homes accommodate these people.
Kersti Suun-Deket, an employee of the Ministry of Social Affairs, says that care homes do not want to take on difficult clients.
For example, they do not want people with dementia or mental disorders.
They also do not want bedridden patients because they require more work.
When calling a care home, it is often said that there are no places available.
If the client is easy to care for, a place is found more quickly.
Kristiina Ets, the head of Alutaguse Care Center, says they have many difficult clients.
They need more help and attention.
Some care homes do not accept these clients, while others do.
The Ministry of Social Affairs will analyze the support system at the beginning of the new year.
