Active in old age: New offers for seniors in the Miltenberg district

More and more people over 55 are looking for ways to live an active and self-determined life. The Miltenberg district has responded to this and offers a wide range of activities for seniors under the motto “Active into old age”. A look at the current programs shows what is offered to increase the quality of life of the older generation.

The district office's website has been comprehensively updated to better serve the needs of seniors and their family caregivers. Here, interested parties will not only find information about meeting and exercise opportunities, but also valuable tips on internet and smartphone use. The geriatric care planning department, headed by Christina Jung, emphasizes that an active lifestyle in old age is crucial for well-being. Solidarity and contact with the community are of great importance here, which is why many of the offers are free or inexpensive.

A variety of activities for seniors

The district organizes a variety of activities that aim to promote social contacts and make everyday life more lively. This includes, among other things, playing cards, hiking, getting together with coffee and cake, as well as exciting motorcycle and bicycle tours. An overview of all events can be found on the district’s homepage under “Events and Dates” ( Events calendar ).

Particular attention is also paid to the new rollator training, which not only helps its participants with mobility, but also offers space for exchange. The first training sessions have already taken place and the next event is scheduled for October in Elsenfeld.

Support for caring relatives

Caring relatives can also find comprehensive information on the website. Online lectures on topics such as healthy eating and long-term care insurance are intended to make everyday life easier. In this context, the Maltese provide support through outpatient care services, in which specially trained caregivers come to the homes of older people. This saves many people from having to move to a nursing home, which not only saves costs but, above all, allows them to maintain their usual everyday life ( Malteser offers ).

Outpatient care includes, among other things, basic care, treatment care and personal advice. This support is invaluable for seniors who want to remain in their own homes.

For anyone who wants to delve deeper into the topics surrounding senior living and care, it is worth visiting the Miltenberg district homepage. Under the topic of “Care”, those interested can find a wealth of further information and contact details for advice centers and offers of help ( Support offers ).

Overall, it is clear that the Miltenberg district has retained a good knack for meeting the needs of its older citizens and offers valuable resources for an active and self-determined life in old age. Whether at events, in care or in everyday life – the options are diverse and inviting.
