Hamm-Norden and Schottschleife / Westberger Weg area

The neighborhood work is essentially carried out in the three fields of action "Living environment and neighborhood design", "Health promotion" and "Social participation". The fields of action "Living" and "Care and Social Services" also listed in the action concept "Aging in Hamm!" are represented in the neighborhoods and social areas with information and advice services, but are more centrally oriented in their planning and action orientation. The field of action "Living environment and neighborhood design" includes barrier-free access to basic supply services, infrastructure facilities and local recreation areas, which should be designed according to needs, as well as crime prevention measures. Older people should feel safe in their district. Another important point is participation and co-design. Neighborhood development is particularly important for paying more attention to the needs and suggestions of older people. Health maintenance in old age should be supported by a health-promoting lifestyle and the appropriate use of preventive and care services. Therefore, additional health promotion services and measures are initiated and promoted in neighborhood work.
