The kick-off event, titled "Roadmap for Home Care" - Information Evening for Caregivers, will take place on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at the Smart City Forum Eichenzell (Fuldaer Str. 3a) at 5 pm. The event promises to be informative and attract numerous participants.
Speakers at the kick-off event "Roadmap for Home Care" in Eichenzell typically include: - Representatives from local health and social services organisations. - Project coordinators and leaders involved in the "Caregivers in the Neighborhood" initiative. - Experts in home care, public health, and preventive care. - Possibly local government officials or policymakers involved in community health programs.
While the exact list of speakers for this specific event is not available, these types of events generally feature a mix of professionals and stakeholders committed to improving caregiver support and home care services in the community.
The event will cover topics such as an overview of care services provided by health insurance, balancing care and self-care, dealing with dementia, and a Q&A and exchange session. Refreshments and snacks will be provided, and each visitor will receive a raffle ticket with small prizes for the guests.
The project, which is supported by the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds (vdek) and implemented in cooperation with various partners, focuses on caregivers, who are recognised as experts for their own health and their environment. The initiative will be carried out in a total of five nationwide neighbourhoods, including Eichenzell in Hesse.
The goal in Eichenzell is to regularly organise events and information offers that foster exchange and provide practical assistance. The project aims to improve conditions for a healthy and independent life in the home environment. By supporting caregivers, the project hopes to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who dedicate their time and energy to caring for loved ones.
