Self-determined living with the help of careunities

Dear Sir or Madam,

Shared flats are not only very popular with students. Especially for people with physical disabilities, they are often the only way to live independently. Andreas Hettwer and Max Prigge have also recognised the potential of this way of living for people in need of care and created careunities. We asked them about their platform and how they want to help create shared flats for people with disabilities.

Have an self-determined week,

Anne Hofmann

For many people, living in a shared accommodation is a matter of course. But how well does this work if you have a physical disability and require assistance? This is where careunities comes in. The online platform matches people up with future roommates and also plans to retrofit buildings for accessibility, thus creating more shared living spaces.

Her new life also includes handbiking. Which dream of her former life she still remembers, why it is important to laugh and why she would never switch lives with someone else, she tells us on REHACARE.com.

Anyone who frequently visits the Wacken Open Air probably knows him: Ron Paustian is one of the permanent fixtures of the heavy metal music festival.
