The assistance provided by Outpatient Assisted Living supports adults with chronic mental illness in need of temporary or continuous support in their own home or help coping with various aspects of independent living. Through assistance with daily tasks and regular contact, stability can be achieved to enable a largely self-determined and independent lifestyle where one's own living space is preserved and hospitalization is avoided. Individual case-related help is developed together based on the severity of the mental illness and the patient’s personal goals. The type and level of assistance is constantly reevaluated based on the patient’s level of well-being. All forms of collaboration are based on an attitude of reliability and respectfulness.
Support
Exclusively experienced specialists, e.g. certified social workers or medical practitioners provide support. Our employees have different supplementary qualifications and are regularly adding to their education. The desire to cooperate with us is fundamental to the success of this program. Good cooperation with legal advisors, relatives, as well as the other outpatient and inpatient services on site is paramount to successful participation in this program.

Legalities:
Integration assistance per. Section 53 SGB XII
The statutory entitlement to these benefits is based on §§ 53 SGB XII. Social welfare organizations (as a rule: the municipal social welfare organization (KSV) Saxony) can submit an application requesting to assume the financial obligations of this program. This requires a medical evaluation, as well as an analysis of financial need of the patient based on the income and assets of the affected person and his immediate relatives. The duration of outpatient home care depends on the individual psychological, social, and life-supportive needs of the user. We cannot, unfortunately, care for people whose primary handicap is a mental disability or addiction.
