When an elderly person begins to experience difficulties with daily tasks, setting up home help may become necessary to allow them to continue living at home in good conditions.
In the Principality of Monaco, several public schemes are in place to support families and facilitate the keeping of elderly people at home.
The A Domicile Monaco teams support families from the very first stages to help them understand the home care procedures and quickly put in place the necessary support.
What are the procedures for home help in Monaco?
Families who contact A Domicile Monaco can be supported from the outset in order to understand the administrative procedures for home help.
In practical terms, our team informs families about the different steps to follow and can direct them to the Monaco Gerontological Coordination Centre to initiate the assessment of the situation.
Thanks to this support, families can:
- Simplify administrative procedures.
- Saving time in setting up the aid.
- Identify available financial aid.
First step in the home help process: contact the CCGM
The key to a successful return home lies in planning ahead.
It is essential to begin thinking about your discharge plan as soon as you are admitted to the hospital. This approach allows you to:
- Assess the person’s needs: human assistance, medical equipment, nursing care, medical monitoring, etc.
- Mobilize the appropriate professionals: caregivers, home nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists…
- Coordinate services to avoid any disruption in the continuity of care.
The A Domicile Monaco teams regularly collaborate with the hospitals in the Principality to facilitate this transition and ensure a smooth handover upon returning home.
Personalized support at home
The first step is to get in touch with the Monaco Gerontological Coordination Centre (CCGM). This specialized service is responsible for assessing the situation of elderly people living in the Principality and identifying their needs in terms of home care..
After initial contact, the CCGM typically arranges an assessment quickly. CCGM professionals visit the person’s home to analyze their situation within their living environment.
During this visit, they will examine, among other things:
- the ability to perform everyday tasks
- mobility in housing
- the need for help with meals or household chores
- housing security
- family and social situation
Following this assessment, professionals establish a personalized support plan to define the needs for home support.
Next step: transmission of the file to the DASO
Once the assessment has been carried out, the Monaco Gerontological Coordination Centre directly transmits the file to the Directorate of Social Action and Assistance (DASO).
Next, the DASO analyzes the person’s situation in order to determine what financial assistance can be granted.
