   Anna Kotlyarovskaya, "Homecare" program leader checked the work with regional service workers and made some changes in provisioning services to some clients. While visiting badly ill clients Anna additionally recommended its clients not to forget to use "Rehabilitation equipment" - one of the oldest Hesed program.
