What is the difference between a home for the elderly and a hospice?
A home for the elderly (дом за стари хора) is a social living institution for long-term residency and personal assistance. A hospice (хоспис) is a medical facility providing short- or long-term specialized nursing and palliative care for patients with chronic medical conditions.
How do municipal home fees compare to private eldercare in Bulgaria?
Municipal care homes charge a percentage of the resident’s state pension (usually 70-80%), but have long waiting lists. Private care homes offer immediate admission on a fixed monthly fee (typically in BGN or EUR) covering full accommodation and care.
