Vienna (OTS) – In view of the announcement by ÖVP Chancellor Kurz that a pact against loneliness will be concluded at a round table next Monday, FPÖ NAbg’s main spokesperson. Rosa Ecker says: “The crisis of the Crown has made visible the loneliness that had existed for a long time in old age. However, the measures are not only necessary for the elderly in healthcare centers. We must not forget those who adhered to the measures given within their own four walls, especially during the confinement. Although they were cared for by their families, they were not allowed to have closer personal contact in the usual way with their children and grandchildren. We must not forget the group of disabled people, who also feel lonely due to the closure of daytime structures and family care facilities. affected. This isolation, imposed from abroad, must be tempered by other initiatives.
“It should also be noted that, in view of the restrictions on social contacts, many older people now have to struggle with psychological problems. These not only affect your mental state, but also your health and physical mobility. The care of specially trained therapists is urgently needed so that these people can speak openly about their pain. Telephone offers will not be enough. Media reports and our own TV shows would also be helpful, ”Ecker demanded.
It goes without saying that the necessary measures must be observed to protect this sector of the population. “It has to be possible to achieve a balance here, in harmony with the maintenance of physical and mental health. “In order to guarantee this, additional staff will be necessary. At the forefront of all efforts must be that these institutions and facilities allow and transmit a positive attitude towards life, “said Ecker.
