At the same time, most of our clients enter into contracts with insurers who are ready to pay for all or part of the services for caring for the elderly who are undergoing rehabilitation after a surgical operation or another type of emergency treatment.

Such patients include people after a fracture of the femoral neck or hip joint, old people who have recently undergone a minor operation, and doctors who give positive forecasts for their recovery, as well as set approximate deadlines for completing all necessary procedures.
