"Maria Frieden on the Move": Innovative Care Service Introduced in Gevelsberg
In the heart of Gevelsberg, a new mobile care service named "Maria Frieden Mobil" is set to launch in August, offering professional outpatient care tailored to the needs of elderly or sick individuals. This innovative service aims to support people in Gevelsberg and the surrounding area who need care in their daily lives, enabling them to live independently at home while being socially connected.
Under the leadership of Rebecca Ohmacht since January 2025, the service will provide care right in the homes of the individuals it supports. Ohmacht, who brings extensive experience in mobile care, is excited to lead this initiative. The local community, including Fabian Ockenfels, head of the Martin Luther Quartier in Essen Dellwig, expresses excitement about the launch as well.
"Maria Frieden Mobil" combines comprehensive home-based health and care services with strong community ties. The service offers nursing care, medical and household support, accompaniment to doctor visits, shopping and walks, additional care for those with limited everyday competencies, assistance with official matters, and referral to other important services. It also provides support and advice for family caregivers.
The service is integrated within the local social infrastructure, cooperating closely with the Martin Luther Quartier. It offers multiple meeting places such as a pub, therapy kitchen, chapel, and spaces for encounters and relaxation, fostering social interaction and community engagement for the clients.
The Maria Frieden Mobil team has spent the past few months establishing structures, hiring care staff, defining processes, and implementing modern digital infrastructure. The team offers a wide range of mobile care services, including basic care, treatment care, and household support.
The service is located in the Maria Frieden Quarter at Hagener Straße 332, 58285 Gevelsberg. Interested parties can learn more about the Maria Frieden Mobil service at the senior fair on Saturday, August 30, at the Maria Frieden Quarter booth.
