The Care Support Point, situated at Stadthaus 2, offers detailed advice on care-related questions, catering to people with care needs from childhood to old age and their relatives. It provides confidential consultations on topics such as care dependency, financial benefits, and relief options for caring relatives. The demand for these services has increased, leading to an expansion of the team.

The expanded services at the Senior Support Point and Care Support Point ensure that both older individuals and those with care needs in Osnabrück have access to comprehensive, free, and confidential advice.
