Most people want to live independently in their own apartment or home and in their familiar surroundings for as long as possible. The “Community Nurse Plus” program is designed specifically to support seniors in this endeavor.
This free, preventive service is aimed at older adults who do not yet require care but would like supportive guidance during this stage of life.
The goal is to maintain the independence of the very elderly for as long as possible and to prevent or delay the need for care through targeted interventions. If the need for care arises, the Gemeindeschwester plus professionals refer individuals to their colleagues at the care support centers and to available care services.
The Gemeindeschwester plus professionals themselves do not perform any nursing tasks.

The Gemeindeschwester plus program is offered throughout the city of Mainz and is funded by the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs, Transformation, and Digitalization, supplemented by municipal funds.
