Independent living support

Key term: . 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.

What we actually do

We support you in acting independently:

  • with sorting out post, official letters and finances
  • with housekeeping, shopping and nutrition
  • with keeping your home and dealing with landlords
  • with building social contacts and leisure activities
  • with appointments at public offices, doctors and the job centre
  • with finding a daily routine or an occupation
