Seniors
In the city of Hof, the topic of senior citizens is part of the Demography and Migration department. The City of Hof's senior citizens' representative is the point of contact for all citizens aged 60 and over. Her responsibilities include planning assistance for the elderly, organizing events (e.g. carnival, day trips, theater) as part of open assistance for the elderly, personal advice as well as networking and public relations work. The Seniors' Representative works closely with the Seniors' Advisory Council and is responsible for its management.

Hofer Land care control center
The topic of care can affect anyone. Whether young or old, working or already retired. With the Hofer Land care control center, we want to provide citizens in the Hofer Land region and all interested parties with an overview of the regional care landscape and present the wide range of advice and support options and their providers in a transparent and clear manner. The care support center for the city and district of Hof is located in the new Hofer Land care center, as is the housing advice center.

Most people want to live at home in their own four walls for as long as possible. In order to guarantee this, the living space often first has to be adapted to the individual's circumstances. The housing advice service offers advice on forms of housing and barrier-free living for citizens of the city and district of Hof. As part of the consultation, the existing housing situation is analyzed and possible starting points for "low-barrier" housing, including financing, are identified.
Even small measures can often make everyday life easier and increase safety. Sometimes, however, conversion measures are also necessary. There are also sensible modification measures to make everyday life easier for the special needs of people with dementia or sensory impairments. Advice on adapting homes also involves taking into account the requirements for living in old age at an early stage when building a new home or converting an existing one.
The advice is neutral and free of charge. In addition to a detailed initial consultation in the apartment/house of the person seeking advice, assistance with the implementation of the recommended measures is also possible if required.
