The Home Care Assistance Regulation has the purpose to establish the procedures and principles for providing home care assistance to individuals with disabilities who require care, as outlined in the Social Services Law No. 2828. The policy is implemented by the Ministry of Family and Social Services and the Ministry of Treasury and Finance. It applies to individuals with disabilities whose household income per capita is less than two-thirds of the monthly net minimum wage. It covers home care assistance for these individuals across Türkiye. Some of the main features of the policy are its eligibility criteria (individuals must have a health report indicating their need for care and must be unable to perform daily activities independently), caregiver requirements (caregivers must be 18 years or older and can be a relative or legal guardian), financial assistance (monthly payments are made to caregivers based on a specific calculation involving the civil servant monthly coefficient). The policy includes regular assessments and reports by a designated committee to ensure compliance and effectiveness. It also features provisions for older individuals who are dependent on others for daily activities, ensuring they receive the necessary home care support. The policy was adopted on May 26, 2023.
