Key term: Eingliederungshilfe (integration assistance): support for people with disabilities – including mental health conditions – so that they can take part in community life. You apply for it at the social welfare office.. So that your home stays your home: we support you with housekeeping, post, finances, appointments and neighbours – as much as necessary, as little as possible.
