[Community-based housing communities : Inventory, qualitative classification and recommendations for action].

According to the will of the German legislator, community-based housing communities are supposed to help implement the pluralistic welfare in mixed care settings and strategies in the structure of long-term care. They follow the principle of shared responsibility, which is characterized by the co-productive cooperation of professionals, working relatives and volunteers. The inventory of residential communities with ambulatory care, which was carried out on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Health, was based on the concept of hybridity for a qualitative classification of the different types of housing communities. The results of the nationwide inventory in Germany showed that the degree of hybridity of housing communities has positive effects on the aims and values, which are pursued with housing communities with respect to cooperation in communities, self-determination of residents, the social relatedness of the residents and nearby care.
