Berlin home visits: strong help for seniors in the neighborhood!
On October 1, 2025, on the occasion of the international day of the older people, the district councilor Uwe Brockhausen (SPD) and Gorden Fink, a pilot from the Berlin home visits, visited the senior Ms. Mir-Raissi in Berlin. The main goal of the campaign became clear: the support of older people and draw attention to the so -called Berlin home visits. This voluntary and free offer is aimed at people aged 70 and should offer them information and help in their familiar environment, according to [berlin.de] (https://www.berlin.de/ba-reinickendorf/aktuelles/Pressemaytäreungen/2025/PressMage division.1603497.php).
The Berlin home visits serve not only to transfer information, but also to strengthen social networking among older people. Often they are not aware of the possibilities in their direct neighborhood or wish more contact with like -minded people. The pilots of the Malteser support the seniors through personal conversations by informing them about leisure activities, senior groups and digital opportunities and advising them, such as gropiusstadt-berlin.de.
Importance of digital participation
A central aspect of advice is the digital sovereignty of the elderly. This is of great importance to actively participate in digital society and to intensify contact with friends and family. Initiatives such as the digital pact of old people aim to promote the commitment of older people in the digital world and to strengthen the social participation, as on family portal.de.
The pilots of the Berlin home visits are available from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to advise interested senior citizens free of charge. The telephone number for contacting is (030) 348 003 - 243. In order to further improve participation in digital life, offers such as personal advice can be used by the 'digital angel' that offer help to use digital options.
Aid offers to promote independence
In his visit, Uwe Brockhausen emphasized the importance of supporting older people in their independence and bringing appreciation to them in urban areas. The topics of the visit included individual advice on digital offers, outpatient care and combating loneliness.
The Berlin home visits are an important project that is carried out in cooperation with the Berlin Senate Department for Science, Health and Care as well as the district offices and the Maltese relief service. The aim is to offer older people orientation and to support them in making self -determined decisions.
