Family Service: Work & Care Relief for relatives
What is it about?
It's not just a fact, but already a reality for many: our society is getting older and thus more (and more) in need of care. The majority are cared for at home, which demands a lot from relatives and can sometimes even become a burden. After all, most of them have a job to do "on the side" and, possibly, children to raise. Unfortunately, there are also only a few good offers of help, which you also have to find out about first. Our family service offers orientation and ensures that you receive quick and concrete support in such a case—for example, through outpatient care services, which our cooperating partner will find for you, or simply by providing you with financial subsidies.
Typical case
Lisa's father is in the hospital after a stroke. Then, she gets a call that he is being discharged and that she should come and pick him up. The problem: Lisa lives 200 km away and also has a full-time job. So how is she even supposed to take care of him during the day? After a moment of despair, Lisa finally turns to our family service. There, she finds out where and in what context she can find care services, which selected agency she can turn to, and finally, how to pick up her father without stress.
