Bürgerkoffer brings office service to the countryside - seniors stay away!
An exciting premiere has taken place in Dicken Busch: the city office comes directly to the people. This mobile service, designed for less tech-savvy citizens, has already arranged twelve appointments in advance to make it easier to access city services. Tobias Ploew, who is behind this initiative, emphasizes that user fairness is crucial and that he hopes appointments are not canceled out of convenience. Despite the great interest, the initial feedback shows that seniors and people with limited mobility in particular were hardly among the customers, as main-spitze.de reports.
The providers initially limited themselves to telephone or email appointment requests. However, it is possible to book appointments online if there are still places available. There are currently no bottlenecks and appointment scheduling is quite relaxed, so there is no need to scale back the mobile offering.
Support offers in everyday care
The topics of mobility and support in everyday life are not only important in the Thick Bush. The AOK emphasizes that there are a variety of help offers that adapt to the needs of people in need of care. This includes care offers for people with dementia, but also activities for seniors such as café hours or individual care in a familiar environment.
Offers to relieve the burden on caring relatives are also particularly important. These range from family relief services to discussion groups and leisure activities for people with disabilities. Individual help in everyday life is also very important. Services such as laundry care, weekly shopping or even driving and accompanying services to doctor's appointments ensure that seniors are well supported in their everyday lives.
Variety of services for seniors
Support for older people extends across many areas of life. pflege.de reported that there is help in areas such as mobility, nutrition and personal care. For seniors who often live alone or need support due to chronic illnesses, everyday companions, household helpers and meal delivery services are enormously valuable.
In addition, many service providers also offer support when moving into barrier-free apartments, help with household clearances and ensure that seniors can lead a self-determined life despite restrictions. The costs for these services can vary depending on the provider and region, but there are often subsidies from the nursing care insurance or health insurance company to reduce the burden. Seniors without dependents can turn to social services and nonprofit organizations for help.
