Weilheim care base: Your rescue in the care crisis!
In beautiful Weilheim-Schongau there is a place that is a real support for many - the nursing base at the district office. This was launched in April 2022 and has since become an important contact point for anyone who has questions about care. The focus is on individual, neutral and cooperative advice that helps you find your way through the jungle of care offers. Loud Mercury Around 700 people had contact with the consultants in the first year; In the three years since it was founded, the number adds up to an impressive 3,000 consultations.
It can be particularly challenging for relatives when the need for care suddenly arises. It is often overwhelming to search for the right offers and support services. It's good to know that the care center doesn't just support seniors. Children, young adults and middle-aged people can also find valuable support here. For example, children suffering from ADHD or autism often do not have their needs for care recognized in a timely manner, which puts a strain on many families.
Advice and support
Advice is usually given by telephone so that initial information can be provided quickly. But don't worry, personal conversations or home visits are also possible. The nursing support center offers comprehensive help with applying for nursing degrees, financial assistance and organizing nursing services. The advisors can, among other things, provide information on the topic of preventive care, which is important for relieving the burden on relatives from care level 2, and can also support them in submitting applications.
Topics such as Long Covid and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are particularly relevant these days. These have come into greater focus since the pandemic and can also cause a need for care. Here, the care support center can help you determine your entitlement to benefits and request the appropriate assistance.
Insights into everyday life
A look at some practical case studies illustrates the necessity of such consultations. There is little Noah Meier, who needs care due to a genetic defect and needs support for household-related services. Or 50-year-old Maria Schuster, who suffers from CFS after a COVID infection and is now seeking support in upgrading her application and outpatient care. Finally, we have Herbert Wagner, an 82-year-old who suffers from forgetfulness and needs help applying for care benefits so that he can get in touch with the Alzheimer's Society.
For all of these people and many more, the care center is a valuable resource. But it's not just the number of consultations that counts, but also the quality of the information that is provided. The certified consultants assess the individual situation of those seeking advice and create a tailor-made care plan. Such an approach is anchored in the Eleventh Social Code (SGB XI) and since 2009 there has been a legal right to free care advice for people with a recognized level of care and those who submit an application.
