Action weeks: Living in old age

"Inform early - because every age deserves the best home"

The "Wohnen im Alter" campaign weeks will take place in Bocholt from Monday, 5 May 2025 to Friday, 23 May 2025. Over the three weeks, more than 50 events and lectures will be organised on the topic. Participation in all events is free of charge!

In recent years, the range of housing for senior citizens in Bocholt has expanded and diversified considerably. The city of Bocholt is committed to providing senior citizens and their relatives with comprehensive information about the various forms of housing for the elderly and to providing personal impressions on site. The focus is on the following aspects in particular:

  • Self-determined living: How do I adapt my home so that I can live in my own four walls for as long as possible?
  • Care and support: What assistance and services are available locally?
  • Which form of housing is right for me?
  • Housing providers present themselves and current housing projects.

You will also have the opportunity to find out about the following topics:

  • Financial support options, financing a place in a home,
  • adapting your home, energy-efficient refurbishment, making provisions, neighbourhood help, etc.
  • Presentation of products for a barrier-free home - A day trip to the Institute of the German Society for Gerontotechnology

Another aim of the campaign weeks is to promote dialogue between experts, senior citizens, relatives and interested parties. In addition, older people should be sensitised to their personal living situation - in line with the motto: "Think about tomorrow today." This is because dealing with the topic at an early stage enables individual needs and wishes to be taken into account in the best possible way and thus create long-term living prospects.

Come and see us! Visit our free events, get advice and discover which form of housing is best suited to your personal life situation. Because living in old age means quality of life - and this should be planned well in advance!

Together with his friend and filmmaker Jonathan de Jong, Teun embarks on a three-year journey across four continents and through eleven countries. He explores how dementia is dealt with in other cultures and which innovative approaches offer hope for an inclusive and dignified future. "Human Forever" shows how much more there is to discover in the lives of people with dementia if we meet them at eye level, listen to them and take their needs seriously. With this film, Teun Toebes wants to raise social awareness for people with dementia and at the same time show a hopeful perspective. Because only if the person behind the illness continues to be recognised will they remain a part of our community.

Details: When a person in need of care moves into a nursing home and has to leave home, this is always a big change for everyone involved. It is important to bear in mind that when looking for a place in a care home, you won't find one straight away. The expenses incurred for the "round-the-clock care" provided there are also high. Many relatives therefore ask themselves the following questions: What are the costs of a place in a care home? What happens to the pension and assets of the person concerned? Will children be responsible for the costs? Ruth Weddeling, head of the specialist care department and WTG authority in the Borken district, provides answers to these and other questions.
