Accompaniment in own apartment

Accompanied Living

Assisted living for people with disabilities stands for personal responsibility, self-determination and inclusion. Independent living in their own rented apartment or in a shared flat. The household and general life is largely managed independently.

"To care" also means "to accompany". A person or a team takes care of a person who needs support.
"Inclusion" means that all people have the same rights. All people are allowed to have a say. All people belong, for example people with and without disabilities, men and women, people with light or dark skin.
"Independent" means: a person does not need help. He can do things himself.
"Self-determination" means that a person can decide for himself. Man can decide about his own life.
In a "shared apartment", different people live together in one apartment. The people do not belong to one family
"Self-determination" means that a person can make their own decisions. Young people and adults can make their own decisions about their lives.
