We offer various support and relief options for people in Upper Austria who care for family members at home. Our consultations take place in person, by telephone, via video chat or online. You can find your contact persons here.

We are an experienced team with different qualifications and meanwhile 20 years of experience in supporting family members who nurse are care for their relatives. We are greatly supported by the work of our volunteers, of whom we are particularly proud.
We are the first point of contact for caregiving and/or caring relatives in Upper Austria!

• This includes people who care for a relative because they look after them, help them with tasks or relieve them of tasks, run errands, help to organise their free time or accompany them to medical appointments.
• For people who care for a relative in the short, medium or long term.
• For people who are preparing for this responsibility or are in the middle of taking it on.
• For members of the respective family system, as well as interested parties.

New perspectives. Clarity. Orientation.

Our counselling helps you

• to find new perspectives and ways of looking at things
• to reorientate yourself through informative conversations
• to recharge your batteries
• to restore family balance

Counselling is available by telephone, at our service centres, as video counselling or, under certain circumstances, at your home. More information.

"There is so much space in the group - from laughing to crying!"
You are not alone with your situation.

At regular meetings with trained group leaders you can:

• Exchange experiences: Many relatives gain valuable experience in coping with difficult situations through years of care. In our meeting places you can meet other people, talk things out, make contact and share your experiences.
• Acquire knowledge: If you are interested, expert speakers on various topics are invited to the group. In addition, there is valuable information about ways to relieve the burden.
• Get to know new approaches: Learn from each other - impulses and suggestions from the other participants enable new perspectives.

We offer 

• in February: Retreat Days for caregiving and nursing relatives - a few days of time out from everyday life in Schlierbach
• May: Retreat Days for caregivers and cared-for relatives - days of joint relaxation, at the Curhaus Bad Kreuzen
• Autumn: Retreat Days for family members providing care - a few days' time out from everyday life in Windischgarsten.

Interesting facts and exchange

Care and nursing situations are a special challenge for the family or partnership.
