Find out about support for seniors in the Ebermannsdorf town hall!

On October 15, 2025, an information discussion about support offers for seniors will take place in the Ebermannsdorf town hall. This event is aimed at seniors and their caring relatives and is led by Jennifer Nelhiebel from the Senior Mosaic Coordination Office at the Hirschwald Nature Park. The aim is to draw attention to the many ways in which older people can lead a self-determined life at home and at the same time to present alternatives to staying at home. Anyone interested should register in advance as the consultation is free of charge. For further information, the Senior Mosaic is available on 09621 70843, as [ebermannsdorf.de](https://www.ebermannsdorf.de/2025/09/24/alt- Werden-zu-hause-am-montag-15-oktober/) reports.

A central theme of the event is the various support and care options. Many older people rely on help, especially with everyday tasks such as shopping, housekeeping or doctor's visits. In addition, loneliness is often a big problem, as partners often die and family members live far away. Senior care not only promotes independence, but also prevents social isolation, which can significantly improve the quality of life of those affected.

Diverse forms of care

Senior care offers different forms of care to meet individual needs. Options include hourly help, day care or 24-hour care. The latter ensures that a caregiver lives in the senior's household and is available around the clock. These diverse offerings enable seniors to live safely and well in their own home even as they age, as wohnen-im-alter.de explains.

Some tasks taken on by caregivers include basic care, accompanying you to appointments and assisting with household chores. Activating support also plays an important role, with discussions, excursions and games on the program. The choice of the right carer should be done carefully, with the determination of the care needs and the professional and personal competence of the carer being crucial.

Costs and financing options

The costs for senior care vary depending on the type of care and provider, but are often between 30 and 50 euros per hour. From May 1, 2024, a minimum wage of 15.50 euros will apply for nursing assistants and 19.50 euros for nursing specialists. For those in need of care who have a recognized level of care, various benefit options are available through nursing insurance, including nursing care allowance and benefits in kind for care services. A relief allowance of 131 euros per month can also be claimed from care level 1, as senioren-focus.de highlights.

Forward planning and legal aspects play a crucial role in organizing care. A comprehensive care plan should include medical information, daily care needs, and household and social activities. In addition, powers of attorney such as living wills and health care powers of attorney are important in order to provide clarity regarding the interests of seniors in an emergency.

The event on October 15th provides an excellent opportunity to learn more about these important topics and learn about senior care options.
