News and support services
When people withdraw, threaten to become neglected and don't want to accept help, this often puts a strain on relatives and the social environment. We explain who you can turn to.
After a stay in hospital or a sudden illness, Heimfinder NRW (nursing home finder for NRW) will help you find a suitable care place. It lists daily updated vacancies in nursing and short-term care facilities.
You can find recognized offers for household or everyday life via the NRW offer finder. The care pilot of the substitute health insurance funds, the AOK care navigator and the care finder of the company health insurance funds also offer this service.
