Burgenland shows that caring relatives can be supported so easily
In contrast to the claims from Salzburg in Burgenland, there are no significant bureaucratic hurdles for caring relatives. This statement is in the direct contradiction to the position of Salzburg's Social Affairs Councilor Christian Pewny (FPÖ), who recently excluded a corresponding model and referred to supposed difficulties in the Burgenland administration. The Salzburg SPÖ continues to urge a solution that would also enable a similar support model in its state.The Salzburg SPÖ has expressed clear demands: it wants nurse relatives at the state of Salzburg, as is already practiced in Burgenland. So far, 336 people have registered as caring relatives. Manuela Blutomager, the managing director of the non -profit nursing service Burgenland GmbH, states that in practice there are no significant bureaucratic hurdles. She explains: "We have simplified processes that make it easier to access."
information and support
Nursing advisors of the organization offer non -binding and free consultations in order to instruct possible interested parties in the necessary steps. A home visit is organized to plan the requested service in the best possible way. Blood lean emphasizes the efficiency of the system: "The necessary documents are usually manageable and easy to handle."
important documents
The most important documents include proof of care and income, a medical certificate and a certificate of criminal register. "If all the requirements are met, the employment process is usually handled quickly. For months, waiting times are the exception," she adds.
The costs for the employment model will amount to around 10.3 million euros this year. In order to underpin the need for a comparable model in Salzburg, the Salzburg Social Democrats started a petition that has collected over 4,000 signatures. The state government is intended to persuade the state government to implement the Burgenland success model in Salzburg in order to improve the situation of caring relatives and reduce bureaucracy.
