Citizen Service Living in old age

The staff at the Office for Social Affairs and Participation provide free and confidential advice on all topics relating to ageing. The service includes telephone and personal consultations, also in the form of home visits. The staff are familiar with the services of all the facilities and services in Stuttgart. This makes it possible to provide neutral support and find a suitable offer. You will find a location near you:

The Neighborhood Bridge of the Office for Civic Engagement supports older people who

• feel lonely
• have physical limitations
• need help to remain independent

We are always looking for people who would like to volunteer, for example by

• regular visits
• Assistance in everyday life, e.g. with correspondence, shopping, housekeeping or technical problems
• Accompaniment to cultural events, authorities and doctors
• Assistance before, during and after hospital stays
• Support when moving house
• Help with digital media.

Our volunteers receive extensive training and an introduction to their tasks. Contact persons help with problems and, in addition to accident and liability insurance, regular exchange and reflection meetings round off the offer.
