Afternoon Announcement: "Modern Assessment Method for Care Services"

On Wednesday, March 1, 2017, at 3:30 PM, the City of Gummersbach's Senior & Care Consultation is hosting a free lecture at the Senior Center located at Rathausplatz 3, 51643 Gummersbach.

The lecture series, named "Lecture on Wednesday", aims to provide comprehensive information on care levels and other related questions. This event is particularly relevant for individuals who may be care-dependent due to health-related impairments in their self-sufficiency and abilities.

The new concept of care dependency has been in effect since January 1, 2017. Care-dependent individuals are now categorized into care levels, and the lecture will offer insights into these classifications.

The care assessment process focuses on questions in six relevant areas of life, including mobility, cognitive and communicative abilities, behaviours and psychological problems, self-care, managing and dealing independently with illness- or therapy-related demands and burdens, and shaping everyday life and social contacts.

Interestingly, instead of counting minutes, points are now awarded in the care assessment process. The method of determining the total point score is not specified, but the lecture promises to clarify this and other aspects of the assessment.

Moreover, the lecture will also cover special considerations for assistive devices or care assistive devices.

Registration for the lecture is required, and the registration number is 02261/87-1547. Attendees are encouraged to secure their spot to ensure they don't miss out on this valuable information.

So, if you or someone you know is seeking to understand more about care levels and care dependency, mark your calendars for this informative lecture on Wednesday, March 1, 2017, at 3:30 PM in Gummersbach's Senior Center.
