Daugavpils social care centers face shortage of beds and staff
The largest social care center in Daugavpils can no longer admit new clients, and staff are overworked. The situation worsened in June when Daugavpils Regional Hospital closed its care unit.
The largest social care center in Daugavpils is facing a critical shortage of available beds, leaving it unable to accept new clients. Employees are working under constant overload due to limited resources.
The problem has been compounded by the closure of the Daugavpils Regional Hospital's care unit, which was shut down in June. This has further reduced the options for residents in need of long-term social care.
According to a report by Latvian Television's “Panorāma” program, the situation is affecting many people who require ongoing care. It remains unclear when or how the situation might improve.
