Assis­ted living pro­ject “Light­house”

The Light­house Hannover is a dis­ab­led-fri­endly faci­lity which is aimed at all peo­ple with HIV and AIDS regard­less of their affi­lia­tion with a par­ti­cu­lar group of affec­ted per­sons. The resi­den­tial pro­ject is desi­gned for women and men who are unable to live tem­po­r­a­rily or for a long time wit­hout help due to their psy­cic or phy­si­cal health situation.

 

Aims

The aims of Light­house Hannover are, on the one hand, to secure the health care in a holi­stic sense, and on the other hand to obtain and to use the sup­port which is appro­priate to the indi­vi­dual needs of the resi­dents. A fur­ther goal of the care is the psy­cho­lo­gi­cal sta­bi­liza­tion of the inha­bi­tants as well as the res­to­ra­tion of neces­sary prac­ti­cal skills to enable a lar­gely inde­pen­dent life.

Appli­ca­tion

We offer a place in the in our pro­ject to women and men with HIV and AIDS from dif­fe­rent groups of affec­ted per­sons, who are no lon­ger able to live on their own for dif­fe­rent reasons. Drug users are admit­ted when they are clean or undergo a sub­sti­tu­tion tre­at­ment. The first cont­act is made in wri­ting or by tele­phone. A first infor­ma­tio­nal mee­ting will take place with the sup­port team. If there is fur­ther inte­rest, a mee­ting with the resi­dents and the team fol­lows. The resi­dents have a right to speak, whe­ther the appli­cant is accepted or not. In addi­tion, the costs must be secured.

Living

The Light­house Hannover is cen­trally loca­ted in the imme­diate vici­nity of a bus and under­ground sta­tion. The resi­dents have their own rooms, partly with pri­vate bath­room, a com­mon kit­chen and a large living area. The rooms can be fur­nis­hed with own furniture.
