Overall concept for senior citizens
A total of 48,402 people live in the city of Hof, 14,401 of whom are over 60. This corresponds to a share of 30 percent.
What opportunities and challenges does this present and what needs are there to make the city of Hof senior-friendly? As part of the overall senior citizens' policy concept, the focus is to be placed on the group of citizens aged 60 and over and the possibilities and opportunities of active ageing are to be highlighted. The concept provides a guideline for the city of Hof's future work with senior citizens. The mandatory legal basis for all local authorities is set out in Article 69 of the law on the implementation of social legislation.

Key results of the public participation
Around 120 interested citizens took the opportunity to contribute their suggestions and concerns on the topics of housing and living, leisure/culture/sport, mobility, digitalization and care at a total of three public participation events on the overall senior citizens' policy concept.
The event informed all those present about the current status of the concept, the results of the 2023 citizens' survey and the next steps.
We would like to thank everyone for their commitment, interest and ideas for the concept!
What happens now?
In the next step, the results will now be written down and incorporated into the concept as action measures, which is expected to be presented to the city council in the third quarter of 2024. Following the publication of the concept, there will be further public relations work and opportunities for interested parties to get involved.
