Short-term round-the-clock service housing for older people

Short-term 24-hour sheltered housing refers to short-term care periods in housing units, often organised at regular intervals.

You can apply for short-term sheltered housing if you need support for things such as living at home and maintaining your independence and functional capacity due to an illness or disability.

Regular short-term housing can support the coping of informal carers and organise statutory holidays for them. Short-term care can also be arranged quickly, for example, in response to the sudden illness of an informal carer.

The need for short-term care is determined individually based on service needs. Short-term care is not granted for purposes such as temporary housing needs.

Client guidance services will make an agreement on the time and duration of the care period with you. Once a period has been booked, it is binding.

In the housing unit, professional social welfare and health care personnel support your independence and encourage you to maintain your functional capacity. You will participate in the care home activities such as outdoor activities, physical activity and culture as far as your resources permit.

During the short-term stay, you will have access to a furnished room with bedding and linen. Laundry service is included if necessary. Breakfast, lunch, afternoon coffee, dinner and evening snack and, if necessary, a night-time snack will be served for you every day, taking special diets into account. You need to bring any medications and special aids you use with you. The nursing staff will take care of your medication. The nursing staff is present 24 hours a day.

There is no doctor present in short-term care. Only sudden illnesses are treated during short-term care. You are responsible for arranging and covering the cost of your travel to and from short-term care.

Short-term 24-hour sheltered housing is subject to a fee.
