Abstract: This paper gives an overview of future-oriented forms of geriatric care in the region of Westmünsterland (Germany). A questionnaire was chosen as method to determine how the members of the Gener- ation 55 Plus envision their living situation, which housing condi- tions they require, and what expectations, needs, and wishes they have regarding their housing in old age. The 202 analysable ques- tionnaires allow for the following conclusions: The preferred form of care “life in familiar domesticity” is still the most favoured. Tra- ditional retirement homes, in contrast, lose importance, whilst out- patient care and complementary services enjoy increasing popularity. Alternative forms of care still only form a minor part of patient care coverage in the examined area of Westmünsterland and people also take a more negative stance towards said forms. Finally, recommendations for actions regarding future-oriented forms of geriatric care are derived.
