Abstract
For older people and people with disabilities, not only medical, but also social assistance is extremely important. As a result of sociological surveys of the population of the Russian Federation in 2015, 2017, 2019, it was determined that the share of respondents (people over working age and people with disabilities) who are provided with social services free of charge (almost half of those surveyed in 2019) is increasing. However, the share of respondents who are completely satisfied with the quality of social services is declining. The share of respondents who are only partially satisfied with the quality is increasing. The vast majority of respondents (persons above working age and people with disabilities) have gained the necessary facilities at their own expense, with an equal proportion among the urban and rural population. An analysis of responses about an individual program of medical rehabilitation measures developed for a people with disabilities revealed an increase in the proportion of respondents who are suitable for this program, taking into account their health status (from 57.1% in 2015 to 65.2% in 2019). There is a decrease in the share of respondents who indicated the presence of deficiencies in the provided technical means of rehabilitation and/or the procedure for obtaining them (from 31.0% in 2015 to 28.2% in 2019). As the main shortcomings, the respondents indicated: "difficulty and laboriousness of obtaining", "inadequate quality", "waiting time for receiving funds". Relatives (acquaintances) are sources of necessary medical or sanitary and hygienic procedures for people over working age and disabled people; the overwhelming majority of those surveyed are satisfied with such procedures.
