The mobile team nurse at home of the users cares about the cleanliness, care and everyday needs of the users and family members, while physical therapist performs physical therapy at homes of the users taking into account the diagnosis and degree of disability, as well as the recommendation of a social worker, who is a member of the mobile team.
Today, an increasing number of people suffer from incurable diseases, and spend their last days at home with their family. Palliative care enables them to live the rest of their life without pain and suffering. A mobile palliative team of the Vinkovci Health Center and Zupanja Health Center was established within the PALL NET project. The team started working on 1 December2017, and currently has more than 30 patients. In addition to providing day-to-day support, assistance and education to patients, the team also provides help and support to their family members during illness and after the patient’s death.
