Description

On December 13th, 1918, the Social Care Commission of the Slovenian National Government established the “Curative Care Institute for the Blind” as the first institution of this kind in Slovenia. Blind persons had their temporary institute in Ljubljana until 1922, when it was moved to Kočevje, discharging all adult care recipients in 1929. Aspiring towards the establishment of an institute for blind adults also through fundraising activities was the association Curative Institute for the Blind, founded in 1923 and renamed Home for the Blind in 1929. Because the government failed to dedicate sufficient funds for the solution of this problem, the association relied on private charity. It accomplished its goal in 1935, by opening the Home for the Blind in the former Strahl Manor in Stara Loka and thus providing blind adults with the first ever permanent integrated care institution in the Drava Banovina.

      • Poverjeništvo za socialno skrb Narodne vlade Slovenije je 13. decembra 1918 ustanovilo »Kuratorij za oskrbo slepcev«, ki je pričel skrbeti za slepe v Sloveniji. Do leta 1922 so im eli slepi začasni zavod v Ljubljani, nato pa je bil preseljen v Kočevje, a so bili leta 1929 vsi odrasli oskrbovanci odpuščeni. Za ustanovitev zavoda za odrasle slepe si je prizadevalo leta 1923 ustanovljeno društvo Kuratorij slepcev, ki se je leta 1929 preimenovalo v Dom slepih, ki je v ta namen zbiralo sredstva. Ker oblast za reševanje tega vprašanja ni namenjala zadosti sredstev, se je društvo oprlo predvsem na zasebno dobrodelnost. Svoj cilj je doseglo leta 1935, ko so v Stari Loki v nekdanji Strahlovi graščini odprli Dom slepih, s čimer so odrasli slepi v Dravski banovini končno dobili trajni zavod za celostno oskrbo.
