Expand housing and care options for seniors
The BIW wants enough affordable nursing homes, senior apartments and assisted living options because the number of older people is growing. Care facilities would be inspected regularly and without notice. Volunteering by seniors would be encouraged.
There are more and more old people in Bremen. The BIW wants enough affordable homes and apartments for them. Houses for young and old together are also wanted. Inspectors should check care homes without warning.
The platform puts special weight on new forms of housing where older people live with others, including younger ones, such as multigenerational houses or senior cooperatives. The housing and care supervisory authority would inspect homes unannounced so that quality and hygiene rules are met. Residents' needs are also to be respected. Older people should be able to stay active after working and family life, including through volunteer work for the common good.
