Housing advice for seniors: consultation hours in Hameln open the doors!
In Hameln, seniors and their relatives can now find out about important topics relating to living and care. On July 1, 2025, the housing advice consultation began at the senior citizen and care support center, which was set up specifically for this target group. The consultations are free and are intended to help seniors make the best possible decisions for their living and care situation. The aim of the initiative is to enable those affected to have a higher level of self-determination and quality of life.
“Here we can offer important information and support so that seniors can take their next steps well-informed,” said a city spokesman. The consultation hours take place regularly and are intended to serve as the first point of contact for questions that arise in connection with the living situation and need for care.
Legal aspects and data protection
A relevant point in this context is the protection of the data collected during housing advice. The German Senior Care OHG points out the importance of data protection in its data protection declaration. Personal data is only collected if it is communicated or is technically necessary. The processing is carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and includes, among other things, ensuring rights such as access, correction and deletion of data. Deutsche Senior Care also brings retention requirements into play: some documents must be retained for up to 10 years after the end of the contract.
In general, the storage of data, for example through cookies on websites, is only permitted with effective consent. This was recently made clear by the Federal Court of Justice in a ruling in which the requirements for consent to telephone advertising and the storage of cookies were specified. According to Robin Data, this is particularly important for companies that want to design their websites according to data protection standards.
Funding and outlook
With this offer, the city of Hameln not only wants to help seniors, but also support their relatives, who are often involved in the decision-making process. In addition to the new consultation hours, further information events are planned that deal with various aspects of senior care.
Further approaches to support seniors and their families are also in the works. The focus is on creating barrier-free living options and supporting the search for suitable care facilities. The well-being of citizens is clearly the priority here.
Anyone interested has a good opportunity to get advice directly during consultation hours. It is expected that this initiative will be very well received by citizens, as demographic developments in Hamelin and the surrounding area will continue to bring new challenges in the future.
