In Cologne everything revolves around the important topic of prevention and health promotion, especially for older generations. Two free themed afternoons will take place on November 12th and 19th, 2025, organized by the Oberspreewald-Lausitz nursing base, under the motto “Prevent today, live healthy tomorrow: Prevention & therapy in focus”. The aim of these events is to provide information about maintaining independence in old age and to show how you can actively take care of your own health through simple measures. The care support center offers extensive advice on the need for help and on nursing and social support offers. Information about this can be found on the nursing support website here.

Participation is free of charge; registration is recommended by calling 03573 – 870 41 (80) or (81).
Healthy and active in old age
With demographic change and the increasing proportion of older people, health promotion is becoming increasingly important. According to that Federal Ministry of Health The proportion of people over 60 will double by 2050. In order to counter this trend, living environments must be created that meet the needs of older people. Preventive measures are essential here in order to maintain functional abilities and enable well-being in old age.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has published clear guidelines to help governments develop age-friendly environments. The five goals defined within the Healthy Aging Strategy include promoting healthy aging in all countries and adapting health systems to the specific needs of older people.
It is important for Cologne residents to find out about the various options for health promotion and prevention. Resources like the portal pflege.de offer comprehensive advice and services that have been developed specifically for those in need of care and their relatives. The goal is to simplify and make caregiving accessible so that everyone involved can find the support they need.
In summary, these themed afternoons not only offer an excellent opportunity to gather valuable information, but also serve to promote exchange among like-minded people. So if you want to stay active and healthy as you get older, you should take advantage of the opportunity and take part in the events!
