Care and security for the elderly in Burgas

Burgas Municipality is joining the efforts of the Home Social Patronage and the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Interior in a large-scale initiative to support the most vulnerable residents.

The goal is to ensure timely support and better protection for lonely elderly people in the city.

Mobile teams in action

The new program includes the creation of mobile teams composed of a police inspector and a social worker. They will conduct home visits to elderly people without relatives or heirs in order to:

  • Identify current support needs.
  • Provide assistance with daily problems.
  • Ensure a direct link with institutions.

Information campaign against fraud

An educational initiative has also started at the "Hope" social cafe. Every month, police representatives will hold meetings with the elderly to discuss:

  • The most common methods of fraud.
  • Everyday risks.
  • Practical ways to protect against malicious acts.

This joint activity aims to make the lives of the elderly in Burgas calmer, safer, and better cared for.
