In the Lebenshilfe Starnberg dormitory, a young woman shows how new rooms and support contribute to independence.
New dormitory in Starnberg: A home for independence and joy!
In a warm Lebenshilfe residential home in Starnberg, it is once again shown how important support is for people with disabilities in everyday life. 68-year-old Babsi lives here, painting letters at her desk with bright eyes. For Babsi and many others, the dormitory is a place of togetherness and community, where everyone makes important progress in their independence.
The dormitory was recently expanded with a modern, two-story extension that offers 26 new places. Eight of these have been newly created and will soon be ready for residents looking for a new home. In addition to the new extension, parts of the old building were also modernized, which significantly improved the quality of living. In the inner courtyard you will now find a well-kept fountain that invites you to linger and forms an oasis of peace.
A new home for many
In total, Lebenshilfe looks after four houses with 83 places in the Starnberg district. The extension of the dormitory includes two floors, each of which accommodates a shared apartment for four people. Each resident has their own, individually designed room, which promotes a degree of independence. Everyone can come together in the common areas to cook, eat or simply spend time.
As with students moving away from home for the first time, residents here learn to strengthen their independence. They are particularly proud of their own front door key, which not only symbolizes a piece of freedom, but also the feeling of home. While the rooms on the upper floor are currently empty, the rooms on the ground floor already show how lively things are here. The first residents have already moved in - the first resident arrived in February and the fourth resident is expected in mid-November.
Living and working under one roof
Almost all residents spend their days in the Isar-Würm-Lech workshops, where they find meaningful employment. An additional highlight of the extension is the “training apartment”, which offers special space for people with disabilities to practice independent living. This makes it possible to learn the necessary skills in a protected environment before perhaps moving into your own apartment.
In order to optimally support the prospective residents, a staff apartment was also created. In this way, the dormitory can offer new, committed staff space and accommodation to form a strong and competent team. In addition to this initiative, Lebenshilfe also shows how diverse their offerings are - they look after people with disabilities of all ages and offer comprehensive services.
Lebenshilfe employs more than 350 people who are responsible for around 900 children, young people and adults in 17 facilities. This comprehensive support shows that inclusion and support are more than just buzzwords - they make a difference in the lives of many people.[ South Germans ]
Loud Life support Art is also an important part of everyday life. People with disabilities display their artwork, and there are many ways families can share their experiences. These creative forms of expression not only help with personal growth, but also strengthen a sense of community.
The development of Lebenshilfe in Starnberg and the latest offers show that it is not just about living with disabilities, but about a fulfilling life that offers many perspectives and opportunities. Authentic stories and experiences strengthen togetherness and show that participation is possible for everyone.
