Social and health care centers ensure that people who need support can stay at home for longer. "Krone" editor Nicole Greiderer went to Brixlegg in Tyrol to find out how the staff do this. And found out the secret behind nursing staff who are happy to do their job even in the current times.

The fire crackles in the oven of the old farmhouse kitchen. Leonhard sits at the table in a checked shirt and suspenders. He talks to Rita Hausberger in a deep Alpbach dialect while she folds the laundry and makes plans for the next day: "We've written the shopping list, now we're going to the stores." Rita is a home help at the Brixlegg and surrounding area social and health service. And therefore much more than just a household helper.
