Elderly Relatives & Care: What services are available in the province of Salzburg?

Information and consultation event

Thuesday, 24 October 2024 | 13:00 to 14:00 |  ONLINE EVENT

Each individual care situation is different because the health, life and family situations are different, too. The situation often is challenging and sometimes overlaid by a sense of helplessness relating to support and relief options for relatives.

DGKP Claudia Bernhard-Kessler BA, MSc from the Care Advisory Service of the Province of Salzburg provides an initial overview of the services offered by the government, the province, insurance providers and other organisations such as the Red Cross and Hilfswerk as well as voluntary activities. In her input, she sheds light on various topics such as care at home, long-term and short-term care, mobility and financing.

Depending on the demands of the participants she will go into more detail on topics such as care and hospice leave, 24-hour care, financing of services for people from other countries (EU, EEA, Switzerland, third countries, etc.). Individual counselling appointments can also be arranged afterwards for individual case advice.
