FSJ in senior support: your tasks as an everyday companion
As an everyday companion (Alltagsbegleitung) you spend time with older people in their own homes. You help them with things that have become harder to manage alone and bring some variety into their day:
- Walks, conversations and board games
- Reading aloud and listening
- Shopping and errands
- Help around the house, for example with cleaning or laundry
- Accompanying clients to appointments
A voluntary year with seniors does not mean nursing care with us. Personal care and medical tasks are handled by nursing services. To see what support our clients receive, visit the page on household help in Reutlingen.
