Shopping, visits to the doctor, household repairs: there are many things that elderly people can no longer do alone. So it's good when someone is there to help them. In the digital neighbourhood network, it's easy to find a volunteer of the 65-plus generation who lives nearby and will lend support. Beforehand nursing specialists train the volunteers. A special feature of the non-profit association is the cooperative approach. Volunteers with low income can collect points for when they reach an age at which they might need nursing care themselves. The result is a reliable network that enables elderly people to lead self-determined lives inexpensively.
