Chemnitz Social Welfare Office provides information on services for senior citizens

All Chemnitz residents aged 75 and over are currently receiving an information letter by post from the city's social services department about the services provided by the municipal social services for senior citizens.

The majority of people want to live at home for as long as possible into old age. To ensure that this is possible, even if support is required within their own four walls, professional social workers offer senior citizens and their relatives free and neutral assistance.

The Senior Citizens' Social Service provides advice on all topics relating to "old age" by telephone on 488 5555. Personal advice can be provided by appointment at the Moritzhof Citizens' and Administration Centre, Bahnhofstr. 53, 09111 Chemnitz or, if required, in the home.

From A - as in "everyday assistance" to Z - as in "living at home", information is available on services as well as support with applications and the organisation of service providers.

It is expressly pointed out that the employees identify themselves with a service card and never appear unannounced for home visits.

If you would like an information letter, even if you are under 75 years of age, you can request one by calling the Senior Citizens' Social Service on 488 5555 or by emailing senioren.behindertenhilfe(at)stadt-chemnitz.de .
