The "Ageing in Aachen" control center is an institution of the city of Aachen that has the task of promoting work with and for older people. It also offers a range of services to older people and younger people who are interested in the topic of ageing.
How do I want to grow older? How independently can I organize my life? What help is available? - These questions pose challenges for our society with a growing proportion of older people.
The "Getting older in Aachen" control center provides information and advice on what options and assistance are available to older people in their specific life situation and, if necessary, refers them to other agencies.
The services of the "Ageing in Aachen" control center are aimed at all Aachen citizens over the age of 60, their relatives and institutions that deal with ageing. The advice and information is free of charge and non-binding.
The advice includes information on leisure and meeting people, housing and living environment, health, help at home and care.
The annual guide for senior citizens provides information about facilities and services for older people in Aachen, gives tips and offers assistance. The "Ageing in Aachen" control center shows citizens and employees working with the elderly how diverse the commitment to senior citizens is in Aachen.
