Whether inpatient care, short-term care, day care, outpatient care or care at home - the Munich Care Exchange helps you to find suitable offers.

Preventive home visits are intended to help recognise emergency and dangerous situations among older people at an early stage.

The centres for the elderly and service centres offer local advice and practical help for older people and their relatives.

Anyone who is unable to do their shopping or prepare a hot meal can apply for a subsidy for meals on wheels or the social lunch programme.

Legal guardianship can be avoided by a power of attorney. Authorised representatives are not subject to control by the competent local court.

If you suffer from a chronic illness and need occupational therapy but find it too difficult to go to a practice, you can arrange a home visit.

If you need to move to an assisted living facility for health reasons, the Social Security Office can help you.

The complaints office advises people in need of care, relatives, legal carers, acquaintances and carers on issues relating to care for the elderly.

With a care directive, you can specify who should - or should not - take on this task if care is required.

If an adult can no longer manage their own affairs due to a mental illness or disability, you can apply for guardianship.
