Worthy life in the Havelland: international day of the elderly

On October 1, the international day of older people is celebrated, an important event that indicates the needs and rights of the older population. This day focuses on the challenges with which many older people are confronted and is an opportunity to protect their dignity and appreciate their contributions to society.

District Administrator Roger Lewandowski emphasized that demographic change in Germany is a serious challenge. The birth rate has been falling for years, which has far -reaching effects on business and society. It is crucial that older people in the Havelland district can also live a fulfilling life. Topics such as mobility, health care and age -appropriate living play a central role.

The Initiative aims to raise awareness of the concerns of older fellow citizens. Various projects have already been started to improve the quality of life of these people. An example of this is the Selma project, which has been discussing solutions for age -appropriate living in a model apartment since 2017. In addition, Havelbus offers a special bus school for seniors to promote mobility in the region. Lewandowski emphasizes that local public transport should be continuously improved, for example by introducing citizen buses.

Another important aspect is the commitment to medical care in the rural areas of the Havelland. Since 2016, funding for resident doctors has been offered by scholarships and start -up services. These measures are necessary to secure the medical infrastructure, especially for older people who may be restricted in their mobility.

The district administrator also emphasizes the immense importance of voluntary work. A volunteer platform is being developed in the region to further strengthen volunteer work. This initiative will not only benefit the elderly, but also help younger people in the community. "We have to make sure that all generations benefit from our measures," said Lewandowski.

In summary, the international day of the elderly shows that society is responsible for giving its older members between care and dignity. It is about creating an environment in which all age groups feel comfortable and respected. These important concerns not only emphasize the challenges of older people, but also the solutions that have already been established in many regions, including Havelland. The district shows passable progress and strives to continue it in the future in order to significantly improve the quality of life of older people.
