Support offers for older people

The City Seniors' Council not only promotes the active participation of older people in social life, but also offers targeted support in the form of preventive advice. Here, seniors are informed about health care powers of attorney and living wills in order to prepare them for any inability to make decisions due to illness. Please note that this is not individual legal advice, but rather general information tailored to your individual life situation. stadtseniorenrat-stuttgart.de emphasizes that the advice is provided by committed citizens who contribute their expertise and experience to the work of the committee.

Another central point of the work of the city seniors' council is the representation of the interests of the older population in the districts. The council is actively committed to more seating, barrier-free sidewalks and the creation of feel-good places. In addition, the representation of interests in municipal offices and district councils is promoted in order to effectively incorporate local concerns into district work.

Imparting knowledge for a self-determined life

Imparting knowledge is another key aspect of the city senior council’s commitment. Experts deal with practical topics such as smartphone and internet use, protection against fraud, and questions about powers of attorney and inheritance law. In addition, the council promotes the formation of opinions on relevant over-60 topics through keynote speeches and discussion groups. Topics discussed include living in old age and medical issues for older people.

Overall, the Stuttgart City Seniors' Council makes a decisive contribution to an age-friendly and lively city that offers every generation the opportunity to actively participate in social life and to have their concerns heard.
