Three ways to tell apart in Rheine

The three services have different tasks and do not replace each other:

  • Look up services: for finding a care home, a home care service or everyday support, the coordination office for work with older people of the town of Rheine refers to the AOK-Pflege-Navigator (a search tool of a health insurance fund).
  • Discuss the situation: the care advice service of the Steinfurt district has a location in Rheine; the advice is free of charge. There is also the care advice centre in Rheine at the district's public health office.
  • Bundle the request: with Pflege Patienten you describe the need once and reach participating providers.

If care is to take place at home

For a home care service, the place of care counts – its head office does not have to be in the same part of town. Note what help is needed and at what times, and with every response clarify which services the provider can actually take on.

  • What help is missing at home – in the morning, in the evening, at weekends?
  • On which weekdays is it needed, and from when?
  • Who already helps, for example family or neighbours?
  • Who can answer questions from the service?
  • Which services does the provider that responds offer?

If another type of care fits better

If support at home alone is not enough, day and night care, short-term care or a place in a care home may also be options. Which combination fits depends on your situation – local advice helps to sort it out.
