Care crisis threatens: How the state of Lower Austria encounters the challenges!

Bezirk Amstetten, Österreich - In Lower Austria, the situation in the care and care area becomes increasingly worrying: the increasingly older population in combination with the retirement of the baby boomer generation creates a massive need for nurses. In order to be able to meet these challenges, the country presents the new care and support strategy 2025+, which was developed with the support of expert Franz Kolland from the Karl-Landsteiner University. The responsible state councilor Christiane Teschl-Hofmeister (ÖVP) leads the initiative, which is equipped with comprehensive scientific support, such as nön.at reported .

The strategy aims to cover the increasing need for care in the coming years through various measures. This includes the expansion of the inpatient care offer, the creation of additional support offers and the increased digitization in healthcare. As part of the new initiative, a pilot project for senior living is initiated in order to meet the needs of the older population and to ensure that they can be looked after in their home region, such as nön.at also noted .
