Care and assistance
Transport services
The City of Bielefeld offers a transport service that can take people with limited mobility or other disabilities to their desired destination. In certain cases, it is possible to request that the costs be covered for a limited number of journeys.
Personal Alarm Call Service
The personal alarm call service works by the user pressing a button in an emergency situation to call for help. When applying for such an alarm button, it is not important how young or old the person is. It is solely about offering individuals reassurance and peace of mind.
