Caritas is expanding team: strong support for people in need of care!

Waidhofen/Thaya, Österreich - In the Waidhofen/Thaya district, Caritas do social welfare stations with over 100 employees important work in house nursing. Over 432 customers are supported daily on site, with more than 55,000 hours of operation already being worked from January to September, which included a total of over 425,000 kilometers. This mobile care has been a fixture in the Waldviertel for over 40 years and takes into account the increasing need for individual care. In order to meet the growing need, Caritas has expanded its team by eleven new employees, which enables even more comprehensive support for their clients, as meinbezirk.at reported.

The services in the context of mobile care are diverse. This includes not only the administration of medication and wound supplies, but also support in everyday tasks such as purchases and visits to the doctor. Particular attention is paid to the promotion of clients' social life. The everyday social companions, funded by the state of Lower Austria, not only offer practical help, but also contribute to socializing and social interaction. Regional manager Erwin Silberbauer emphasizes the importance of nursing work and support for relatives: "We are proud to be able to make an important contribution to this by taking new employees."
