Promotion of care transition

Description

Note On 29 November 2023, the Munich City Council decided to end the voluntary "Care Transition" programme , which has been successfully implemented since 1999, on 31 December 2024 (point 2.4 of the resolution). The funds released from this programme will be reallocated to finance school social work in vocational schools for nursing and to increase the voluntary services of the "In-Home Day Care" programme.

A celebration to mark the 25th anniversary of the funding programme will take place on 8 October 2024. Written invitations will be sent to the care referrals, facility and care service managers of the fully inpatient care facilities in Munich, representatives of the providers, associations and the city council as well as supporters of the funding programme.

- Advising and informing
- Organising and coordinating the move into the care facility
