Discussing a Good Life in Old Age in Bochum Together

How can older people live safely, independently, and well integrated in Bochum? The event Living and Life in Bochum - A Senior-Friendly City invites you to an informative community experience at the Bochum Adult Education Center. The focus is on age-appropriate living, social participation, and a living environment that meets the needs of older people.

Understanding Age-Appropriate Living

The event is created in cooperation with the Office for Urban Planning and Housing and the Senior Living Department of the Social Welfare Office. The new database for age-appropriate housing forms in Bochum will be presented. It helps older people and their families to find suitable housing options clearly.

Participate, Share Ideas, and Shape the Future

In an open conversational atmosphere, the question arises as to how apartments and residential areas must be designed so that people can live safely and independently in older age. Participants have the space to share their own experiences and articulate their wishes for future support services.

Senior-Friendly Venue

The event takes place in the Lore-Agnes-Room of the adult education center in the Education and Administrative Center. The venue is accessible without barriers. The building has ground-level access and three elevators. Parking is available at the P3 parking garage near the town hall and the Education and Administrative Center. Arriving by bus and train is also possible.

Relaxed Atmosphere and Social Participation

The two-hour evening combines understandable information with personal exchange. Such encounters strengthen well-being, promote social contacts, and make communal development tangible through direct conversation. Relatives and people interested in senior-friendly urban planning will also find important suggestions here.

Conclusion: Shaping Bochum's Future Together

Visitors can look forward to an informative, welcoming evening about housing forms, accessibility, and a good life in old age. Those who want to make Bochum more senior-friendly and share their own experiences will experience community, orientation, and participation firsthand here.
