older people connect in their community

Welcome!

Due to demo­graphic change and individuali­sation in our society more and more older people are living alone or in nursing homes, often without any relatives or relatives that live far away. Older people in particular benefit from local non-family networks with friends and neigh­bours. These enable sociability and promote a sense of belonging. Many studies confirm that older people with positive relation­­ships feel better and are healthier.

Dream­like Neigh­bour­hood facilitates neigh­bour­hood groups, where older people meet regularly and support each other in (re-)detecting and bringing in their talents, ful­filling their dreams, facing challenges of every­day life and finding ways to actively contribute to their communities.

In this video about the Neighbourhood Group in Vienna, our participants tell about great encounters and lots of fun at the „Plauderei“ („chat”).
