Burgenland's care revolution: 71 bases for a worthy aging!

In Burgenland, a brand new tender for care support points ensures excitement! With this initiative, which started last Saturday, the state government under Governor Hans Peter Doskozil takes an important step towards improved care supply. A total of 71 nursing support points in 28 regions are intended to raise awareness of high-quality, non-inpatient care. "People want to age in their own four walls as long as possible," explains Doskozil and emphasizes how important it is to support this wish. The new tender is an invitation to all current providers to actively participate in this development in order to guarantee the security of supply on site, as Burgenland.at

Not only the establishment of the bases is the focus! The innovative employment model for supervising relatives is also being expanded. In this way, the older generation in Burgenland can be carefully and safely looked after by their family members at home, as State Councilor Leonhard Schneemann underlines. So far, 467 submissions have been made possible by this model. From October 1, 2023, 284 relatives will be in use, whereby the salary is adapted to the country's salary schemes. The positive feedback on this model shows how crucial it is for the relatives to receive the support they need. "This measure not only serves the financial security, but also the social recognition of the work of the relatives," reports
