Renovation in Jelgava Region Social Care Center Highlights Accessibility Issues

Repairs at the Zemgale social care center in the Jelgava region have once again drawn attention to the insufficient accessibility of the environment for people with mobility impairments.

For people with musculoskeletal disorders, environmental accessibility is a matter of daily quality of life. It is especially important in long-term social care centers, where the elderly and people with functional impairments live. Currently, renovation work is underway at the Zemgale social care center in the Jelgava region, which has highlighted a broader issue: how well the environment is adapted for people who use wheelchairs or require daily care.
