Recreational stays for senior citizens

In order to provide senior citizens from Waldeck-Frankenberg with recreational stays, the district is again offering two trips this autumn - one to Norderney and one to Bad Brückenau in the Rhön Mountains. Those interested are cordially invited to participate, there are still a few places available.

The prerequisite for the assumption of costs is that the persons have reached the age of 65 and have only a low income and assets. Low income is considered to be 898 euros per month for single persons and 1,213 euros per month for married couples - in each case plus accommodation costs such as rent or home ownership expenses.

In the case of married couples, the joint income is also taken as a basis if only one of the spouses wishes to participate in the recreational measure. If there are special reasons, senior citizens who have only reached the age of 60 can also be considered. This also applies to married couples if one of the partners has not yet reached the age of 65.

The three-week stay on Norderney will take place from 5 to 26 November. The participants will then be accommodated in the district's own holiday hotel "Haus Waldeck". The trip to Bad Brückenau will take place from 17 October to 7 November. There are still places available for both holidays. Registrations are accepted by the Social Affairs Department by phone 05631-954 208 or by e-mail to brigitte.bundis@lkwafkb.de.
