GesundheitsTALK: Lecture on the topic of "Financing a care home place"

Knowledge exchange for people in need of care and relatives // Wednesday, 13 March, from 6 p.m. in the Media Centre // Register now

On Wednesday, 13 March, the first lecture of the current semester of the GesundheitsTALK series will start at the Bocholt Media Centre. Ruth Weddeling from the Borken district will provide information on the topic of "Financing a place in a care home". The talk starts at 6 pm. Admission is free.

There are many questions to answer when being admitted to a care facility: How do you find a suitable care facility? What happens to your income and assets? And what about the children? Will they be required to pay for the care place? What happens if I have transferred assets? These and other questions will be at the centre of the presentation.

Organiser

The series of events is organised in cooperation with VHS Bocholt-Rhede-Isselburg, the BOHRIS doctors' network and the Bocholt Seniors' Advisory Council. Other topics in the series include dementia, private provision and resilience for family carers.
