Anyone who cares for relatives in need of care or is in the same situation themselves often has many questions.

Participation in the events is free of charge and registration is not required. The nursing base also offers open consultation hours: Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in Dieburg and Pfungstadt and on the first and second Thursday of the month in Weiterstadt and Ober-Ramstadt. Here, those seeking help can receive direct support and information, as not only the Federal Ministry of Health emphasizes on bundesgesundheitsministerium.de.

A wide range of information on site

At the care bases, people in need of care and their relatives can find out everything they need to know: from application forms to assistance with apartment conversions. Care advisors from the care insurance funds are available to help find suitable nursing homes or to provide information about funding. The bases also promote the networking of all offers in order to ensure comprehensive support for those in need of care.

There are also various offers of consultation visits and training courses especially for caring relatives, as explained on verbraucherzentrale.de. These courses not only provide valuable knowledge, but also practical skills for care and dealing with particular challenges. The general conditions are often particularly pleasant due to participation in small groups.

Advice and support for everyone

Individual home training on fall prevention or dealing with chronic illnesses is also possible. These were designed by experienced nursing professionals and are financed by the nursing care insurance companies. If you have any questions or are concerned about overload, you can contact the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs' care hotline on 030 201 79 131, which will answer anonymously and confidentially.

Overall, the care support centers' offerings and the associated events are a valuable resource for everyone who works in care or will soon need support. The Darmstadt-Dieburg district cordially invites anyone interested to take part in the lectures and consultation hours - because here everyone can get advice that will really help!
