Long-term Care
The content of the website is in the process of being updated in accordance with the third amendment of the Recovery and Resilience Plan.
The objectives of reforms and investments under the "Long-term care" component are to create a new pillar of social security by establishing a comprehensive legal framework for high-quality, socially equitable and financially sustainable long-term care, to increase the accessibility, availability and affordability of services for all beneficiaries, irrespective of age, to strengthen the development of community-based services and integration with health services, to improve staff capacity, and to support the digitalisation of the system.
Establishing a single system for long-term care – reform
The reform aims to create a new pillar of social security, focusing on the specific needs of people in need of long-term care and ensuring equal access regardless of socio-economic status. A special law will ensure more diversified financing sources, in particular by introducing compulsory long-term care insurance.
The reform consists of entry into force of a new law establishing an integrated long-term care system and compulsory long-term care insurance in Slovenia, including amendments to by-laws in the field of social security; and the establishment of a national model for the monitoring of the quality of treatment by long-term care providers.
