Deputy Welfare Minister inspects care homes to ensure elderly protection during heatwave
Deputy Welfare Minister Clea Hadjistefanou-Papaellina conducted on-site inspections of care homes on Tuesday to ensure that measures to protect elderly residents during the current heatwave are being implemented properly. The visits focused on compliance with guidance issued last month regarding air conditioning systems in care homes.
The inspections are part of the deputy ministry's commitment to safeguarding the dignity, safety, and quality of life of seniors, especially during extreme heat conditions. Papaellina emphasized the importance of prevention and early intervention as key strategies for protecting vulnerable elderly populations.
During the visits, the deputy minister interacted with residents, staff, and management to discuss daily operations and the quality of care provided. The inspections are continuing across all districts with the aim of monitoring compliance and supporting care home providers in maintaining high care standards for elderly residents.
