Care on site: Brandenburg uses decisive funds for the future!

Prignitz, Deutschland - In Brandenburg, nursing policy remains a hot iron. Today, the district press spokesman Bernd Atzenroth announced the continuation of the successful "Care on site". This means that funds continue to flow into the strengthening of municipal care policy, which is intended to bring more quality of life for older people. This program has been running since 2021, the term of which is scheduled until June 2025. But what happens afterwards? The uncertainty about future financial support is noticeable.

The "Pact für Nursing" has provided remarkable 20 million euros annually in the past four years to improve the care infrastructure. By 2025, eight of the eleven municipalities in the Prignitz district have benefited from the funding and realized various projects. An example of this is the "nursing café" in Wittenberge, which serves as a contact point for relatives and offers information events there.

variety of funding measures

The funding guideline "Nursing on site" aims to create daily structures for seniors and the support of neighborhood aids. A new concept in Perleberg relies on volunteering to support people in need of care. The development of training offers for caring relatives is also very popular.

Another focus is on the special needs of people with dementia. For this purpose, special support offers and information events are offered to train relatives. In Wittenberge there is also a contact and advice center for dementia patients and their relatives.

The feedback from those responsible in the district are consistently positive; They emphasize the urgency of continuing the "Nursing on site" program in order to meet the increasing need for care services. After all, reference is also made to the fact that according to the Nursing Monitor Brandenburg, the need for care in rural regions increases alarming.

need for flexible solutions

The care monitor has analyzed the situation in the state of Brandenburg in detail and discovered worrying facts, such as the lack of workers in nursing. The majority of the Brandenburgers are cultivated at home, but relief offers are painful. A call to recruit new specialists in the nursing profession is therefore more than necessary.

The responsible persons call for regional care structure planning to meet the needs of the population and to take into account demographic change. In addition, the monitor shows that the consulting structures have to be modernized and better tailored to the needs of the relatives.

The challenges in nursing are complex and require a good hand of everyone involved. The goal of increasing the quality of life for people in need of care and providing effective support for their relatives remains a task for society as a whole. Further information on contact persons and projects can be found on the official website of the District Prignitz .

It remains exciting to see how care policy in Brandenburg is developing and whether the commitment of recent years has also bears fruits in the long term. This means that the increasing need for innovative solutions and flexible offer structures in care is essential.
