Basic information
The Bremen Housing and Care Inspectorate ensures that statutory quality standards are adhered to and that the needs and interests of residents are taken into account by providing advice, monitoring and, if necessary, issuing regulatory orders.
The Bremen Housing and Care Act (BremWoBeG) obliges the Bremen Housing and Care Inspectorate to inspect housing and support services once a year. This happens regardless of whether there are complaints or other indications of deficiencies.
More than half of the inspections are unannounced.The BremWoBeG describes the most important requirements and quality standards that operators must comply with and the basic rights of residents in residential and support services.
Other basic principles are the BremWoBeG regulations on
-Staffing in residential and support services
-Quality and safety of buildings and living spaces in residential and support services
-Representation of the interests of residents in housing and support services
If complaints are submitted to the Bremen Housing and Care Inspectorate, it also checks whether the legal requirements are being met outside of the annual inspections. If relevant deficiencies are found, the Bremen Housing and Care Inspectorate imposes binding conditions on the operator to rectify these deficiencies.
