Expanded Care Centers for the Elderly Proposed in Harburg District by CDU Representative
In the heart of Hamburg, the district of Harburg is facing a growing challenge as its elderly population continues to increase. According to the latest census data, an estimated 26,972 residents are aged 67 or older, accounting for 15.2% of the district's total population.
André Trepoll, a member of the parliament, has voiced concerns about the insufficient care facilities in Harburg. The district currently has three day care facilities, offering a total of 58 places, which falls short of meeting the increasing demand.
Trepoll's concerns have been echoed by the Senate's response to his interpellation, which revealed that while there are 28 home care services licensed under the Eleventh Book of Social Security Code (SGB XI) in Harburg, their number may not be sufficient to cater to the needs of all elderly residents.
The actual occupancy rate of the day care facilities in Harburg remains unknown, but Trepoll suggests the urgent expansion of full-time care facilities and day care options.
Besides day care facilities, Harburg offers other facilities for the leisure activities of elderly people, such as neighborhood cultural centers and community centers. However, these may not address the need for expanded care services in response to the growing elderly population.
While search results on the topic of expansion plans for full-time care facilities and day care options in Harburg are scarce, local government websites, health and social services departments, or relevant municipal planning documents would be the best sources for concrete information.
Trepoll is advocating for improvements in care facilities in response to the demographic change in Harburg, which he considers a cause for concern. He urges for a comprehensive approach to address the need for more day care facilities and home care services in Harburg.
The district office supports facilities for the leisure activities of elderly people, acknowledging the importance of providing a holistic approach to elderly care. However, the need for more care facilities remains unaddressed according to the Senate's response.
