Part 4 of Article 13 was completely changed. Now, in order to express your own opinion or leave feedback after providing services to the elderly and disabled, you can go to the official website and express your opinion in writing.

Article 23.1

Article 23.1 appeared after the latest changes were made. It also talks about providing an independent assessment of the quality of service delivery. A quality indicator is one of the control methods that makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of services provided to the elderly and disabled.

Criteria for quality assessment:

  • Openness of information;
  • Comfortable conditions during the provision of services;
  • Waiting time;
  • Competence, politeness and friendliness of the company's employees, which provides quality service.

An independent assessment of the quality of services provided is carried out in the manner prescribed by this Federal Law.

An authorized federal executive body or other government department can independently create public councils that will evaluate the effectiveness of their activities.

Article 13. Labor activity of elderly citizens and disabled people living in stationary social service institutions

Elderly citizens and disabled people living in inpatient social service institutions can participate in medical and labor activities in accordance with medical recommendations.

The relationship of an enterprise (where patients undergo occupational therapy) with an institution providing psychiatric care is determined by a joint activity agreement (clause 3 of the Regulations on medical and industrial enterprises for occupational therapy, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 25, 1994 N 522 “On measures to provide psychiatric assistance and social protection of persons suffering from mental disorders"). This provision stipulates the enterprise’s obligations to provide employment to persons suffering from mental disorders, the amount of deductions from profits to these institutions, the participation of these institutions in the medical care of workers and other conditions that the parties consider essential for their relationship.
An employment contract is concluded with persons involved in occupational therapy. To do this, they submit an application expressing a request to be hired to perform certain functions (clause 13 of the Regulations on medical and industrial enterprises for occupational therapy). Work books are issued for such persons, they are paid wages, given annual paid leave, and the time they work at the enterprise is included in the total length of service. In addition, they are subject to state social insurance and are provided with free one-time hot meals.
An employment contract with persons undergoing occupational therapy is not always concluded. If, as prescribed by the attending physician, these persons are not recommended to perform work under an employment contract, but occupational therapy is nevertheless indicated, then a civil law contract is concluded with them, taking into account the provisions of civil legislation concerning the legal capacity of these persons (clause 15 of the Regulations on Medical Treatment). industrial enterprises for occupational therapy). Based on this agreement, patients are paid remuneration for work in accordance with its quantity and quality (if, of course, patients participate in productive work).
An employment contract or a civil law contract is concluded regardless of where the persons in need of it undergo occupational therapy (industrial workshops, enterprise). In addition to working under an employment contract, citizens who have become disabled can take part in medical work activities. The involvement of disabled people in medical and labor activities is carried out on a voluntary basis by inpatient social service institutions in which they live, in accordance with individual rehabilitation programs.

Premises and equipment for medical and occupational activities must meet safety and hygiene requirements. Citizens participating in medical work activities are provided with special clothing, special shoes and other personal protective equipment according to established standards, taking into account the type and nature of the activity. The duration of work should not exceed 4 hours per day(Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 26, 1995 No. 1285 “On the procedure for the participation of elderly citizens and disabled people living in inpatient social service institutions in medical and labor activities”).

They are paid a remuneration in the amount of 75% of the cost of work performed, with the remaining 25% credited to the accounts of the inpatient institutions in which they live, to be used to improve social services for the citizens living in them.

For disabled people of groups I and II, the legislation provides for a reduced working time - no more than 35 hours per week while maintaining full pay. The specified duration of working hours is established by the employer on the basis of a certificate issued to a person recognized as a disabled person of group I or II by the institution of the state medical and social examination service. If, at the next re-examination, the employee receives group III disability, the employee loses the right to a shortened working day. Group I disabled people undergo re-examination once every 2 years, group II disabled people – once a year. If disability of groups I and II is established for employees without specifying the period for re-examination, then the question of revising their working hours should not arise. In addition, it must be borne in mind that full payment for a 40-hour work week is made only if the disabled person works 35 hours a week. If the working time is, for example, 30 hours, then the work is paid in proportion to the time worked, i.e., as part-time work.

Therefore, if an employment contract was concluded with Eremenko, then he should also be granted study leave. or Article 173 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation

For employees sent for training by the employer or who independently entered educational institutions of higher professional education with state accreditation, regardless of their organizational and legal forms, through correspondence and part-time (evening) forms of study, who successfully study in these institutions, the employer provides additional leave with the preservation of the average earnings for:

passing intermediate certification in the first and second years, respectively - 40 calendar days, in each of the subsequent courses, respectively - 50 calendar days (when mastering the main educational programs of higher professional education in a shortened time in the second year - 50 calendar days);

preparation and defense of final qualifying work and passing final state exams - four months;

Federal Law “On Social Services for Elderly Citizens and Disabled Persons”

10) preservation of residential premises occupied by them under a rental or lease agreement in houses of state, municipal and public housing funds for six months from the date of admission to a stationary social service institution, and in cases where members of their families remain living in the residential premises - in throughout the entire stay in this institution. In case of refusal of the services of a stationary social service institution after the expiration of the specified period, elderly citizens and disabled people who have vacated residential premises due to their placement in these institutions have the right to priority provision of residential premises if the previously occupied residential premises cannot be returned to them . That is, she has the right to priority provision of residential premises if the premises were occupied by municipal, state, and public housing funds. But

Subparagraph 10 of Part 1 of the commented article establishes a legal guarantee for the protection of housing rights of citizens (disabled and elderly citizens). True, the content of the provision under consideration was formulated by the legislator during the period of validity of the former Housing Code of the RSFSR and does not take into account the provisions of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, which is a serious drawback. However, we note that the provisions of the RF Housing Code can also be applied to these legal guarantees. The sub-clause in question. 10 is divided by the legislator into two paragraphs and this is not accidental; thereby the legislator has allocated guarantees of the housing rights of disabled children who are kept in residential institutions until they reach the age of 18 into a separate group. All disabled people and elderly citizens (not disabled children) who are kept in inpatient institutions, receive social and medical assistance, services, have the right to retain the residential premises that were provided to them under a rental agreement for 6 months from days of placement in inpatient facilities. However, the legislator further indicated that this could also be a lease agreement, and not just a rental agreement in houses of municipal state and public housing funds. Currently, according to Art. 19 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, no public housing stock exists anymore. Thus, only state and municipal housing funds remain in which such a legal guarantee will apply. However, the new housing legislation does not contain the provisions of a rental agreement, as it was previously; there are only social rental agreements and the rental of specialized housing stock, commercial rental of housing. There are no such concepts as hiring and renting residential premises. Therefore, it is necessary to determine what types of employment (social, commercial or specialized) are provided with legal protection under this Law.

There are provisions in Chapter 8 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation - social rental of residential premises. Article 71 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation establishes that the temporary absence of a tenant of residential premises under a social tenancy agreement, any of his family members living with him or all these citizens does not entail a change in their rights and obligations under the social tenancy agreement. Thus, there is no 6-month period here, and, therefore, the provisions of the legislator in the article in question are incorrect - they contradict the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of housing legal relations. A 6-month period of absence of a citizen, whether he is in hospital or in another place, does not deprive him of the right to use residential premises under a social tenancy agreement. However, not all so simple. According to Part 4 of Art. 83 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, failure by the tenant to pay for residential premises and (or) utilities for more than six months is an unconditional basis for termination and termination of the social tenancy agreement for residential premises. You also have to pay for inpatient care (but not always), even if an elderly person or a disabled person recalculates the cost of utilities (after all, he doesn’t use them), rent still needs to be paid, and during the heating season you also have to pay for heating. So it turns out that it is easier for citizens to refuse further use of residential premises themselves than to remain in a hospital for life and retain the right to use residential premises under a social tenancy agreement. Similar legal provisions are established in other cases when using specialized housing stock.

According to Art. 69 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, family members of a tenant of residential premises under a social tenancy agreement include his spouse living with him, as well as the children and parents of this tenant. Other relatives and disabled dependents are recognized as family members of the tenant of the residential premises under a social tenancy agreement if they are settled by the tenant as members of his family and run a common household with him. In exceptional cases, other persons may be recognized as family members of the tenant of a residential premises under a social tenancy agreement in court. Family members of the tenant of a residential premises under a social tenancy agreement have equal rights and obligations with the tenant. The capable family members of the tenant of a residential premises under a social tenancy agreement bear joint and several liability with the tenant for the obligations arising from the social tenancy agreement. Family members of the tenant of residential premises under a social tenancy agreement must be indicated in the social tenancy agreement for residential premises. If a citizen ceases to be a member of the family of the tenant of the residential premises under a social tenancy agreement, but continues to live in the occupied residential premises, he retains the same rights as the tenant and members of his family. The said citizen is independently responsible for his obligations arising from the relevant social tenancy agreement. Members of the employer's family enjoy the same rights as the employer himself. Accordingly, if they make timely payments for utilities and rent, then they have the right to use such residential premises as much as they like, without time limits. In this case, the provision of the article in question regarding the fact that when a disabled person or an elderly citizen who is undergoing inpatient treatment lives in a residential premises, the right to use the residential premises will remain with him for an unlimited period, does not change under the Housing Code of the Russian Federation.

On the other hand, in the ruling of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, Determination of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation dated May 13, 2010 N 598-О-О

“On the refusal to accept for consideration the complaint of citizen Tamara Borisovna Klimova about the violation of her constitutional rights by part eleven of article 17 of the Federal Law “On Social Protection of Disabled Persons in the Russian Federation” and part 3 of article 83 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation”

2. According to Part 3 of Article 83 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, in the event of the departure of the tenant and members of his family to another place of residence, the social rental agreement for residential premises is considered terminated from the date of departure. This rule, which establishes the general rules for terminating a residential lease agreement when it is vacated by the tenant and members of his family, is based on freedom of contractual relations, including, among other things, unilateral refusal to fulfill the contract when such refusal is permitted by law or agreement of the parties. This right is exercised by the employer and members of his family according to their unilateral expression of will, and therefore cannot be considered a violation of their constitutional rights and freedoms (Determination of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of November 24, 2005 N 509-O).

As for the issues of providing disabled people with living quarters under social tenancy agreements in houses of state or municipal funds, including the retention of these premises in their possession if they need to receive medical and social services in houses of the social service system, they are regulated by special norms of Sections III and IV Housing Code of the Russian Federation, as well as related legislation on social protection of disabled people and social services for the population.

In particular, according to subparagraph 10 of paragraph 1 of Article 12 of the Federal Law of August 2, 1995 N 122-FZ “On Social Services for Elderly Citizens and Disabled Persons”, which operates in normative unity with the provisions of Part Eleven of Article 17 of the Federal Law “On Social Protection” contested by the applicant disabled people in the Russian Federation", the disabled person retains, during the entire time of stay in a stationary social service institution, the residential premises occupied by him under a social tenancy agreement in the houses of the state or municipal housing stock if members of his family remain living there.

The materials attached to the complaint indicate that during the entire stay of T.B. Klimova, in the Reshetikhinsky boarding house for the elderly and disabled, members of her family lived in the residential premises that she occupied under a social tenancy agreement. Currently, the applicant actually lives at her previous place of residence with her daughter, who recognizes her right to the disputed residential premises.

But it seems to me that if the apartment was privatized to Muratova, then it is her property, and her son did not have the right to sell her apartment without her. Determination of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation dated December 18, 2003 N 477-O

“On the refusal to accept for consideration the complaint of citizen Sergei Viktorovich Bushaev about the violation of his constitutional rights by paragraph 10 of part one of Article 12 of the Federal Law “On Social Services for Elderly Citizens and Disabled Persons”

The content of the contested norm is aimed at protecting the interests of disabled citizens and cannot be considered as violating any of their constitutional rights and freedoms. The absence in Article 12 of the Federal Law “On Social Services for Elderly Citizens and Disabled Persons” of a provision on providing citizens of this category who previously lived in residential premises of a private housing stock (individual residential buildings) with other living space in an extraordinary manner is due to the fact that citizens those leaving such residential premises are not deprived of the right to use them (Article 127 of the RSFSR Housing Code), regardless of the length of stay in a stationary social service institution.

Problem No. 10

Art. 180 Penal Code of the Russian Federation

3. Convicts who are disabled people of the first or second group, as well as convicted men over 60 years of age and convicted women over 55 years of age, at their request and presentation by the administration of the institution executing the sentence, are sent by social protection authorities to homes for the disabled and the elderly.

Indeed, such a rule provides. But in accordance with the Federal Law “On Social Services for Elderly Citizens” there is no separate such category. She must be placed in a Special Boarding Home (special department) for the elderly and disabled - a social and medical institution designed for permanent, temporary (for a period of 6 months) and five days a week residence of elderly citizens (men over 60 years of age and women over 55 years of age ) and disabled people who have partially or completely lost the ability to self-care and need constant outside care, from among those released from places of imprisonment and other persons for whom administrative supervision has been established in accordance with the current legislation, as well as elderly citizens and disabled people who have previously been convicted or those who have been repeatedly brought to administrative responsibility for violating public order, engaging in vagrancy and begging.

The peculiarity of the category of employers in special boarding homes (special departments) in accordance with Part 5 of Article 20 of the Federal Law "On Social Services" is that they include elderly citizens or disabled people from among particularly dangerous repeat offenders released from prison and other persons , for whom administrative supervision has been established in accordance with the current legislation, as well as elderly citizens and disabled people who have previously been convicted or have been repeatedly brought to administrative responsibility for violating public order, engaged in vagrancy and begging, sent from institutions of internal affairs bodies.

Moreover, part 5 of Article 20 of the above Law contradicts Article 183 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation<11>, establishing that control over persons released from serving a sentence is carried out in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and regulatory legal acts. Accordingly, Article 183 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation does not provide for the establishment of administrative supervision over the above categories of citizens.

TASK 12

The organization and coordination of social advisory assistance is carried out by municipal social service centers, as well as social protection authorities, which create appropriate units for these purposes.

Let's take a look at some of the above services.

Leisure services. For this purpose, the institution must have a leisure room containing the necessary furniture, TV, books, magazines, newspapers, board games, etc. The organization of leisure time should help expand the general and cultural horizons, the sphere of communication, and increase the creative activity of clients. The choice of periodicals to which subscriptions are made is made taking into account the wishes of clients and taking into account the capabilities of the organization of social services.

Psychological help. For this purpose, telephones are provided for use and telephone numbers of social services are provided where psychological assistance can be obtained. Telephone numbers of these social services should be posted on a stand in the lobby of the institution.
