When am I entitled to these services?

Canteens, laundries and professional hygiene centres are provided for all those who need their help. Mainly:

• pensioners after retirement age,
• people with adverse health conditions,
• severely disabled.

How do I start using these services?

If you are interested in any of these services, you must contact the city/municipality where you live. Vyplníte žiadosť o poskytovanie sociálnej služby, a obec vám buď začne služby priamo poskytovať, alebo vás nasmeruje na správneho poskytovateľa pomoci.

You will need to enclose with your application a certificate of income for the current calendar year and a doctor’s statement about your health.

How much do these services cost?

The provision of these services is partly paid for by the state, but you will have to pay a certain amount for each provision. You can find out the exact amounts for each service at the municipal office.
