Free care advice
The importance of nursing advice cannot be overemphasized. According to the DRK e.V., people who need support due to age, illness or after an accident receive free help. The nursing advisors not only help with applying for nursing degrees, but also with organizing household help. The individual situation is taken into account and support can be provided both by telephone and in person - even home visits are possible. This advice is particularly valuable support for relatives, as there is often little information available on care issues.
A need for care often brings with it uncertainty and many people are not prepared to take on care. It is therefore crucial to clarify in good time whether care in your own home is possible and what support is needed. The legislature ensures that those in need of care and their relatives have a legal right to free care advice, as set out in Section 7b SGB XI. This support can provide great relief not only for those affected, but also for family members, who often bear the brunt of care.
Schwarzenbek is aware of the challenges and offers comprehensive offers that improve the quality of life of citizens and at the same time provide important information. It's time to take advantage of these valuable support services.
