Who are the services of the Prietenia Association suitable for?

Our services are aimed at adults with disabilities who have a disability certificate, code 5 (mental) or 7 (associated) and who can benefit from support in a community environment, oriented towards developing autonomy and increasing the quality of life. Admission is made following an assessment of the person’s needs and their compatibility with the services offered by the Prietenia Association after a trial period.

What services does the Prietenia Association offer?

The association offers assisted living services in the community for independent living and Day Center services, emphasizing the development of independent living skills, social and psychological counseling, occupational therapy, household activities, community integration, empowerment, recreational, cultural and socialization activities.

Who are the services not suitable for?

For the safety of all beneficiaries, admission is only made when the assessment shows that our services can adequately meet the person’s needs and that the community environment is suitable for them. Situations that require ongoing medical care or ongoing specialized supervision may require other types of services.

What is the cost of services?

Costs vary depending on the type of service. The association is supported by contributions from beneficiaries, partnerships, sponsorships, donations and projects.

How long can a person benefit from services?

Services are provided as long as they meet the needs of the beneficiary and the objectives set out in the individualized plan can be pursued safely and efficiently. The situation of each beneficiary is assessed periodically.

  • 10% – sponsors and donations;
    5% – contributions from the beneficiaries’ families
