District offers recreational holidays for socially weaker seniors

In order to enable socially disadvantaged senior citizens from Waldeck-Frankenberg to go on recreational trips, the district is again offering two trips this autumn - one to Norderney and one to Bad Brückenau in the Rhön Mountains. Those interested can register with the district now.

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. A 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 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 probably 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 enough places available for both trips. Registrations are now being accepted by phone 05631-954 208 or by e-mail to brigitte.bundis@lkwafkb.de.
