Call of help from Hameln: What will become of the Curanum residents?

Call of help from Hameln: What will become of the Curanum residents?

In the district of Hameln-Pyrmont, the residents of the Curanum face a difficult situation. The impending closure of the facility affects not only the many seniors who live there, but also their relatives. The senior and care center in Hameln has taken on the challenge and offers preventive advice and support in emergencies. The district spokeswoman, Sandra Lummitsch, points out that nursing insurance is responsible for providing care places, which does not make the already tense situation for the families affected. The district does not have a legal mandate to provide care places, but it strives for the home supervision to help the affected residents.

A new portal is currently being built up to free care places in the district. This could help the affected residents search for alternatives. The home supervision plays a major role here by offering advice and support with regard to suitable home places. Some members of the Curanum residents have already contacted the home supervision. This can be reached in Hameln during the usual office hours in the health department at Hugenottenstraße 6. The opening times are from Monday to Thursday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The senior citizens' and care center has closed in the municipalities for personal consultations during the summer vacation, but telephone consultations and home visits are possible.

Expansion of the supply situation

The Curanum Weserbergland in Hameln, a lovingly guided facility, specializes in the preservation and activation of the physical and mental abilities of its residents. With low fluctuation in the nursing staff and qualified therapists, individual care is offered. The daily challenges not only include medical care through regular consultation hours, but also the offer of help in everyday tasks such as room cleaning, laundry care and even appointment agreements, for example for hairdressing appointments or medical foot care.

• Daily reception
• Additional offers such as a wine bar, a swimming pool, a kiosk and a small café
• palliative care as part of the offer

The necessary steps to improve nursing care in the district are not only necessary to cope with the challenges by closing facilities such as the Curanum. They are also part of a higher -level strategy that should ensure the future supply structure in the nursing sector. The current stand is regularly documented by statistical surveys, for example by the Federal Statistical Office. This data helps to recognize the overall picture of nursing care and to make necessary adjustments, as in the context of the development of outpatient and inpatient care facilities.
