Lebenswelt Heim - Bundesverband

Lebenswelt Heim - Bundesverband presents itself as an Austria-wide association in the elderly care field, stating that it works together with the Landesorganisationen (regional organizations) on its daily work. It frames its Austria-wide perspective around the definition of nationwide minimum standards to which the Länder have committed, and argues that care, like education or health, is a public good that should be available to people regardless of residence or social origin. The association also states that it has advocated in many places against ÖGK measures to restrict cost coverage of patient transports for seniors.

The available evidence does not provide a dated corporate history. The association describes itself as operating Austria-wide and states that it repeatedly confronts the question of whether an Austria-wide view of people is needed amid federal structural conditions, a question it addresses in its daily work together with the Landesorganisationen. It answers this question affirmatively, citing the definition of nationwide minimum standards to which the Länder have committed, the need for an Austria-wide bringing-together of perspectives, practice and professionalism oriented to the standard of the 'human being', the view that care — like education or health — is a public good, and the need for equally dignified legal and financial framework conditions for equivalent work Austria-wide. It also states that it has advocated in many places against ÖGK measures to restrict cost coverage of patient transports for seniors.
