Bavaria is investing 3.6 million euros in innovative care concepts!
A lot is happening in Bavaria in the area of care close to home. The developments are particularly geared towards the needs of the older generation, who want to live independently in their own four walls for as long as possible. Loud aschaffenburg.news Innovative care concepts in ten municipalities were already funded with over 3.6 million euros in 2025. Small communities and larger districts in particular attach great importance to developing individual solutions in order to be able to optimally help local people.
An outstanding example is Rosenheim, where over 1.1 million euros are being made available to create positions for social space pilots. These specialists are responsible for approaching people in need of help at an early stage and referring them to local offers of help. The Minister for Health and Care, Judith Gerlach, emphasizes the valuable contribution of this program to improving local care structures. The “Good Care in Bavaria” funding program is intended to provide municipalities with support so that they can better cope with the challenges of demographic development.
Care in the community
The funding includes not only financial support, but also a strategic concept to strengthen social life. This means that over 80 percent of those in need of care are cared for in their familiar surroundings. The aim is to preserve the independence of those affected and to enable them to participate in social life.
- Rosenheim: 1,1 Millionen Euro für Sozialraumlotsen
- Bamberg: 1,3 Millionen Euro für das Quartierskonzept „Care im Quartier“
- Auf weitere Kommunen wie Schwandorf und Garmisch-Partenkirchen entfällt ebenfalls eine nennenswerte Förderung.
Support is essential, especially in rural areas and for people with disabilities. Projects are intended to specifically strengthen home and inpatient care while the facilities remain open for social contacts. pflegesonah.bayern.de emphasizes that care needs in society must change in order to meet demographic challenges.
A look into the future
With an annual budget of 25 million euros for the “Good Care in Bavaria” program, the Free State shows that it has a good hand for the future. In the first year of the program, which promotes a wider range of care offerings, over 30 projects have already been supported with more than 5.6 million euros.
Communities are encouraged to come up with creative ideas and submit their applications by the appropriate deadline – October 31st. The requirements are clearly defined and all necessary documents must be submitted in a timely manner. This means that nothing stands in the way of successful implementation of the projects, and the quality of life of many older people can be sustainably improved.
