Thereafter on 1 of January 2003 the national home-care project began its operation with twelve employees within the framework supported by the European Caritas. The training and the preparation of the service, for the responsible and noble task, was aided by the Subotica Gerontology Center, the national Caritas, the European Caritas, the German Caritas and the Caritas of Linz.
