Thuringia's Caregivers' Week offers free expert advice in Bad Salzungen

The 6th Thuringian Caregivers’ Week will run from June 1 to 7, 2026. One of its key events takes place in Bad Salzungen on June 3, offering support and advice for those looking after family members. Visitors can explore practical solutions for everyday caregiving challenges at Bahnhofstraße 6 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The Bad Salzungen event will feature free, no-obligation consultations on services designed to ease the burden on caregivers. Experts from the German Red Cross (DRK) emergency call service and Herbstsonne Senior Care will be on hand to provide guidance. Attendees can learn about modern home emergency call systems and flexible respite care options.

Topics will cover a range of essential areas, including how to apply for long-term care benefits and available caregiving courses. Interactive activities and information booths will also be set up, giving visitors the chance to ask questions and gather resources. Similar events with personalised counselling will take place across Thuringia throughout the week. The focus remains on practical help, with demonstrations of emergency call technology and discussions on temporary relief services. Organisers aim to connect caregivers with local support networks and tools to improve daily care routines.

The June 3 event in Bad Salzungen forms part of a wider initiative to assist unpaid carers across the region. By offering direct access to experts and resources, the week-long programme seeks to address common challenges faced by those supporting elderly or ill relatives. Free attendance and tailored advice ensure the sessions remain accessible to all who need them.
