"SUNRISE" assisted living for senior citizens
On the premise that every
human being has the right to a long, healthy
and fulfilling life, we are developing a sustainable
care centre for the elderly who are so isolated
and have little hope, allowing them to experience
the beauty of aging.
The "Sunrise"
day care centre provides the most vulnerable
a public vegetarian kitchen and offer them
and other needy elderly a laundry and public
bath services. The Day Care centre also serves
as a socialization place where the beneficiaries
have the possibility to take part in various
activities.
Our aim is to involve into the project to
the full extend the community and children
and through that spread ecological awareness.
The day care centre serves everyday in average
40 elderly and in total provides services
to 300 people from Straseni.

"Sunrise" Assisted Living for
senior citizens is a project based in the
town of Straseni, 25 km from Chisinau, capital of
Moldova, aiming to serve this most vulnerable category
of the population, specifically those who are single
(lonely), sick or physically disabled, who cannot
cater for themselves.

The Rainbow house - elderly people’s home
Next to the "Sunrise" daycare centre stands the Rainbow house. An elderly home for people who are no longer able to manage on their own. It is for the Elderly who are mentally of physically disabled or who are simply in a condition where they are not any more able to take care of themselves. The home provides medical and social care from staff that covers a 24-hour period. The staff provides services such as massage and basic needs like warm meals, a shower and a good bed.
At the moment all the places in the home are filled and there is a waiting list for people who would like to have a placement there.

The home serves in total 20 beneficiaries from which 10 are in social arrangements and 10 commercial.
Commercial places are paid by the family of the elderly and in this way partly support the projects sustainability.

Castania tourist Pension

The plan of setting up the holiday houses came as an idea leading towards the sustainability of the «Sunrise» Day Care Centre for the Elderly. The income from renting the holiday houses will act as contribution towards the «Sunrise» project.
The projects are aiming at eco tourists, tourist that like to explore the life of local people in rural areas, backpackers and any other tourists.
The building of holiday houses started in the second half of December 2007 on the grounds where Sunrise and Rainbow projects are situated.

3 Wooden Holiday Houses are now ready to accommodate 2-4 people in each house. Each house has one private sleeping room in the attic, bathroom with a shower and toilet, living room with the kitchen block and couch for two people.
Breakfast is provided and there is possibility to join (vegetarian) lunch and dinner.
In this way tourist have a good place to stay, close to the capital, but in the middle of the real life of Moldova and at the same time support the activities of "Sunrise" project.
The houses are a good place for accomodating participants of different trainings, seminars and other events (a conference room with facilities is available).
