Home support for refugees who cannot travel

For an immobilized person, access to care begins at home. In Bălți, CASMED supports Ukrainian refugees with reduced mobility and the families caring for them through hygiene products, medical visits, and practical guidance. In 2026, at least 30 refugee, bedridden, or partially immobilized persons settled in the municipality received hygiene kits. The products cover daily needs and reduce families’ care expenses.

The aid is part of the project “Cities and Regions for All,” co-financed by the European Union through the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) within the Migration Partnership Facility. The project is implemented by the municipality of Prague 5, People in Need, and CASMED. In addition to material support, the project includes home medical visits, training for caregivers, and psychosocial support. Families learn how to safely mobilize the cared-for person, prevent bedsores, and better manage daily care. “This support is very important for us because often money is not enough,” says Victoria Koșel, who cares for her bedridden mother.
