Verein Netzwerk Duractal

The Durachtal Health Network is a politically independent and non-denominational association based in Merishausen. The association was founded to ensure the continued provision of supplementary care services in the Durach Valley. Its goal is to promote the independence and self-determination of the population in the Durach Valley and to support social initiatives. The association is committed to promoting volunteer work and aims to make better use of existing support services. It coordinates the various service providers in light of demographic changes. The association's services include a contact and advice center for everyday support. The association organizes a social lunch for seniors. Furthermore, it coordinates transportation services for doctor's appointments or therapy sessions, with accompaniment if needed. It offers advice and the loan of assistive devices such as walkers. The association also coordinates visiting services. Some of these services are subject to a fee. The target group of the association consists of people who live in the Durach Valley and need support in managing their daily lives. This includes people who rely on transportation services, are physically impaired, or feel lonely and would like to attend the social lunch.
