Vision of the future: Freising presents a new concept for senior citizen welfare!

In the Freising district, new paths for a senior-friendly future were shown today. District Administrator Helmut Petz and numerous representatives from politics and administration presented this Overall senior policy concept that focuses on the quality of life of older people. The concept was developed by social planner Dr. Jens Hornig, who contributed his vision for strengthening senior work and structured networking of the diverse offerings.

The cornerstones of this concept are far-reaching and include preventative support, care offers and comprehensive housing advice. The newly developed emergency folder, which records medical information for seniors and their relatives, received particular attention. This folder is not only intended to make the work of emergency services and doctors easier in an emergency, but could also save lives.

Needs and planning for seniors

Like that Munich district reports, the current demographic trends are a decisive impetus to ensure the quality of life of older people and people in need of care. In order to overcome this challenge, targeted analyzes of the living space and living conditions of older people will be carried out in the future. These are intended to help identify needs and potential shortages and develop measures to remedy them.

A central aspect of the overall concept is the involvement of numerous actors, including district municipalities and senior citizen assistance experts. Together, suitable framework conditions should be created for necessary offerings in various fields of action. This includes, among other things, support for caring relatives and advice on barrier-free living.

Collaboration for a better future

The head of the social welfare office, Werner Wagensonner, emphasized the importance of a coordinated senior policy that enables an active and safe retirement for all older citizens. Beate Drobniak, chairwoman of the district senior citizens' advisory board, emphasized the importance of cooperation between administration and senior representatives in order to jointly advance the goals of the designed program.

The district administrator himself made it clear that early planning and precautions for the older generation are of the utmost importance. The overall senior policy concept is intended to promote a future-oriented, solidarity-based senior policy that not only addresses the needs of the older population, but also strengthens coexistence between generations. Because one thing is clear: the quality of life of seniors is an important asset that needs to be protected and promoted.
