Care and living; advice

Municipalities, project sponsors, associations, housing companies and other interested parties can obtain information and individual advice on assisted living communities, day care or innovative forms of living and care.

On behalf of the Bavarian State Ministry of Health and Care, the Care and Housing Coordination Office offers a comprehensive range of information, advice and services relating to care and housing.

The aim of the state-wide Care and Housing Coordination Office is to enable as many elderly people in need of care as possible to remain living in their own homes for as long as possible while maintaining a high quality of life, or to create a new home through alternative and innovative housing projects. With a successful mix of professional care, the promotion of voluntary structures and the successful use of technology, all related stakeholders in the local social environment are to be informed about current developments and findings and given individual advice.

The main topics are

• outpatient assisted living communities
• day care
• Innovative forms of living and care
• Care conferences

In addition to advising those involved in outpatient assisted living communities, the Care and Housing Coordination Office also addresses other stakeholders and initiators, e.g. of day care facilities and innovative forms of housing and care. These are, in particular, welfare associations, outpatient services, advice centers, but also companies in the private sector that design apartments and living environments and, last but not least, private individuals.

By offering outreach advice, the coordination office also provides local authorities with advice and support in the development of small-scale and local care solutions throughout Bavaria. It also provides information on possible funding and support options and, if necessary, assists with the application process.

Interested local authorities can also contact the Care and Housing Coordination Office with questions regarding the establishment of care conferences in accordance with Section 8a (3) SGB XI.

In order to avoid exacerbating crisis situations and to support local authorities in cases of sudden and serious disruption to the outpatient care structure, the Coordination Office has been the point of contact for local authority stakeholders throughout the state in acute crisis situations relating to the care infrastructure since August 2024. This is intended to help improve the security of care and the well-being of those in need of care.
