Care and Dementia Campaign Month: 30 events in Central Saxony!

September in Central Saxony is all about care, old age and dementia. Under the motto “Care, Old Age and Dementia Campaign Month”, the Central Saxony Care Network has put together an extensive program that is aimed at everyone who is interested. How Sächsische.de reports, this month includes no fewer than 30 events, including six exciting events in the Döbeln region.

The campaign month covers important dates such as Family Caregiver Day on September 8th and World Alzheimer's Day on September 21st. The aim of this initiative is to give more space and attention to topics that are usually left in the shadows. In collaboration with various partners, a diverse program from the areas of medicine, nursing and social services has been put together that offers information, advice and opportunities for exchange.

Events in the Döbeln region

Several events are planned in the Döbeln region. On September 10th at 4 p.m. a special event on the topic of dementia will take place at the DRK day care Am Werder 1 in Roßwein. The speaker at the event is Ines Süß from the Saxony State Dementia Initiative. Registration for this valuable offer is required by calling 034322 989995.

Online offers for caring relatives

For caring relatives, there are not only local events, but also numerous online seminars that enable flexible participation. Loud Cureta.de Providers such as AOK Rheinland/Hamburg offer a wide range of lectures that deal with everything imaginable about care - from long-term care insurance to topics such as stress management and self-care. In an increasingly hectic time, such offers come at just the right time and can provide essential support for relatives.

Participation in these online events is usually free. However, those interested should take the time to check the conditions of participation and select the offers that are right for them. The websites of the NRW consumer advice center and the NRW care guide are extremely helpful.

Important topics and offers
