Support from community nurses

With support from the state of Hesse, the district employs community caregivers. They are supposed to provide support with everyday problems in the run-up to serious or chronic illness or the need for care - and thus maintain an independent lifestyle and social participation for as long as possible. They do not provide medical or nursing services themselves, but arrange and organise appropriate support services locally.

The offer is available to all citizens in the district and includes:

• Home visits to identify nursing, medical, (psycho-) social support or care needs
• Planning of appropriate assistance and support services on site, together with clients and other stakeholders (family doctor, relatives).
• Referral counselling and referral to appropriate services and support on site
• -Strengthening local networks

Elderly people in particular benefit from the service, as it can contribute to seniors being able to live well in their familiar surroundings for a long time and receive the assistance that is necessary for this. The offer is free of charge. Contact can be made, for example, via the care support point and the municipalities. For advice or questions, the community care workers can be reached by telephone, by e-mail and regularly during office hours in Diemelsee-Adorf, Waldeck-Sachsenhausen, Frankenau and Battenberg. The exact times of the office hours will be added.
