What was it about?
ALTENPFLEGE, in cooperation with the Edgar and Nina Kummerfeldt Foundation, was looking for the best ideas in these three categories:
- Improving quality of life: projects that sustainably improve the lives of people in need of care.
- Creating new images of old age: Approaches that positively change society's image of old age.
- Enabling a self-determined life: Networks that support senior citizens in their neighbourhoods.
The jury is made up of high-calibre representatives from the care sector.


Care4-a-better-Life² Award
The best submissions, selected by a high-calibre jury, will win the Care4-a-better-Life² Award - an exclusive photo shoot with photographer René Schwerdtel. Your initiative will be presented at the ALTENPFLEGE 2026 in Essen - the perfect stage for your vision!
Our message:
‘Good care exists! It deserves recognition and attention.’ Let's show together what care can achieve.
