Caritas launches online advice on care and living

01.10.2009 16:14

On October 1, 2009, Caritas will start online advice on the topic of “care and living”. If you have questions about care at home, would like to find out more about living in retirement homes or senior centers or are looking for care for a relative who is confused about age: Caritas' online care and living advice is a good first point of contact for all these questions.

Those interested will be informed and advised securely (with SSL encryption) and anonymously by nursing professionals. You will receive an answer to your request within 2 working days.

With 19 social stations, two hospice services and six shared apartments for people with dementia, the Caritas association cares for around 3,000 people every day in their home environment in Berlin and Brandenburg. A nursing call center is available around the clock, seven days a week. 750 nursing staff and nursing specialists in dedicated teams offer professional and trusting support, enabling sick and old people to continue to live independently in their familiar surroundings. A mobile lunch table delivers healthy meals directly to your home.

If care at home is no longer sufficient, Caritas Altenhilfe, a subsidiary of Caritas, offers help: Service living, for example, is ideal for everyone who can manage on their own but would like a little support and a shared household. Day care can be the right offer for people who want care and activity outside of their home during the day, but want to go home in the evening. And anyone who needs even more support will receive the help he or she needs in the full-time inpatient care in senior citizens' and nursing homes.
