Increased home care payments have commenced in Turkey
Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş, Turkey' s Minister of Family and Social Services, has announced that home care assistance payments, known as " Evde Bakım Yardımı," have commenced this month.
These payments, which have been increased in amount, are now being deposited into the accounts of eligible recipients.
The assistance is aimed at families who care for individuals requiring full-time nursing within their own homes and is intended to provide essential financial support.
This programme represents a vital component of Turkey' s social safety net, helping to alleviate the financial strain on households that bear the responsibility of caring for family members with special needs. The decision to increase these payments reflects a necessity to strengthen financial aid for vulnerable groups within society.
For many Turkish families, these payments constitute a significant portion of the household budget, particularly when considering the general increases in the cost of living across the country.
An increase in this type of benefit helps to maintain purchasing power and ensure better living standards for those in need of care and their caregivers.
This form of financial support plays a central role in reducing the burden of care-related expenses, which can encompass everything from medication and specialised equipment to home modifications.
By easing this pressure, the government helps ensure that those requiring care can continue to live in safe and familiar surroundings, while families receive the necessary financial assistance. The payments represent a concrete economic policy that directly impacts household finances and the quality of life for many people in Turkey.
The measure underscores the government' s focus on social welfare programmes to meet the needs of the country' s most vulnerable citizens, and it contributes to mitigating the effects of general inflation at the household level. Source: Haberglobal
