Rheine. What are the living conditions of older people in Rheine? In order to revise the social plan for old age from 2010 for the coming years, 5,000 people over 60 were randomly contacted for a survey a few weeks ago. The city Rheine asks these people to return the questionnaire by November 18 in the already stamped return envelope to the Bielefeld SOKO Institute for Social Research and Communication.

“We want to develop a tailor-made, long-term effective strategy for Rheine and for this the opinions and information about the living situation of as many people as possible are enormously important. This strategy should help us to maintain the highest possible quality of life in Rheine in the long term,” explains Raimund Gausmann, alderman of the city Rheine. A high level of participation in the survey is valuable for this.
