Resi Saluto strengthens those in need of care

As already Prof. Dr. Frank Weidner, managing director of DIP GmbH and scientific project manager, and Martin Schneider, head of the vdek state representatives in Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland, explained: “The best experts for the well-being of residents in nursing homes are the people involved themselves. The facilities' existing structures and processes provide this These are not always the optimal conditions for an individual. That's why the Resi Saluto project is about strengthening the strength of residents in nursing homes to keep them healthy
and preserved robustly.”

Accordingly, the aim of the project is to promote psychosocial health, well-being and participation as well as to avoid violence and the experience of violence. For this purpose, the staff in the facilities are trained and supported with materials and aids that can be easily integrated into everyday work. For this purpose, special training materials and workshops as well as virtual offers were developed. The processes are individually tailored to the facilities and supported throughout the entire process. At the end, the results are evaluated.
