HIV/Aids

People with HIV, their relatives and partners can get help from the counseling center on how to deal and live with this medical condition. There is information about this medical condition and group offers. Prejudices should be dismantled and people’s living conditions should be improved.

Cancer (Krebs)

If you or a family member is diagnosed with cancer, it is a physical and emotional burden for everyone. There are many questions and everyone needs to learn how to deal with the situation and may need financial support. During the consultation, you will receive a lot of information about treatment options and you can get in touch with other people through self-help groups.

Care and Support

As people age, they often need help caring for them. Here you should apply in order to receive financial support. This is where the health insurance company makes a classification into a degree of care. A renovation in the apartment, funds for nursing aids, short-term care and for caregiving relatives must be checked and approved. This is where counseling centers can help. When people can no longer live alone at home, solutions have to be found. You can find out more about this in the Bamberg Care Portal. You must also apply for financial support for this.

In the care portal you will find various places for personal advice. In addition, you will find all care facilities with their offers and a care place search.

Dementia (Demenz)

As people get older, the number of people with dementia is also increasing. These are people who no longer remember everything and who are forgetting more and more. There are organizations in Bamberg that help affected families.
