For me, ALTENPFLEGE is the ultimate industry gathering for learning about innovations, new developments, social policy and products. ALTENPFLEGE is also a meeting place for people who are committed to and involved in the industry, who want to exchange ideas, look forward to seeing each other again and are curious and eager to learn.
