More than 80 retirement homes will be modernized, Bulgaria’s Labour and Social Policy Minister Borislav Gutsanov said during a meeting of Parliament’s Committee on Labour and Social Policy on Wednesday. 

Gutsanov added that the retirement homes reform has made significant progress. All 81 project proposals submitted for construction and equipment and furniture upgrades at existing retirement homes have been approved for funding. The total investment amounts to over BGN 380 million. In Gutsanov’s words, it will enhance the quality of life of 5,600 elderly people.

The Minister also spoke of plans for 254 new social services. The changes will help close 60% of the specialized institutions for people with disabilities by the end of 2027, Gutsanov added.
