With us, you are at the centre
For a life that follows your own path
Would you like to shape your life according to your own ideas?
Decide for yourself when you go out, go to work, do vocational training or study, meet friends, travel or organise your everyday life in the way that is right for you? Then comitante is the right place for you.
Every person has the right to self-determination, equal participation and a life in dignity. A disability, an illness, a visual impairment or a need for care can make everyday life more difficult and mean that support becomes necessary. For us, however, support does not mean making decisions for you or simply taking things over. It should enable you to shape your life as independently and self-determined as possible and according to your own ideas.
At comitante, you are at the centre. It is not authorities, forms or rigid rules that decide the way, but your wishes, your goals and your personal situation. Together we find out which support suits your everyday life and what options there are to organise and fund it.
Our areas of support
Support that fits your life
Which benefits may be possible for you depends on your personal situation. We look together at what is possible.

-
Participation in working life
Work assistance as well as assistance in vocational training, at school and at university – so that your abilities count, not the barriers in front of them.

You tell us about your situation, your wishes and your goals – without obligation and at your own pace.
-
Clarifying your options
We explain in plain language which benefits from integration assistance, help with care costs, the Personal Budget or other funding bodies may be possible.

Preparing the application
Together we prepare the necessary documents and submit the application.
-
Support until the decision
We stay by your side – throughout the entire approval process and beyond.
A special focus
The Personal Budget
The Personal Budget (Persönliches Budget) enables many people with disabilities or care needs to organise the support they need themselves and to decide for themselves who provides support, when, where and how.
This means more self-determination, more freedom of choice, more flexibility and more control over your own life. We help you find out whether the Personal Budget is an option for you and, if you wish, accompany you through the entire application process.
More about the Personal Budget“Persons entitled to benefits can, on application, receive participation benefits through a Personal Budget.”

Service model
You commission an assistance service such as comitante. We take care of scheduling, cover, contracts, billing and insurance – you concentrate on your everyday life.
Employer model
You are the employer of your assistants and decide who supports you and how. The highest degree of self-determination – with the corresponding responsibility.
Budget assistance
Support with contracts, rosters, payroll and contact with authorities. You still make the decisions.
Communication without barriers
comitante in your language
Language should never be a barrier. This website is available in 13 languages – simply choose the language you feel most comfortable with. The read-aloud function will then also speak in your language.
comitante stands for support that does not decide for you, but makes things possible.
Our goal is not to make people dependent, but to strengthen them. We want to break down barriers, promote existing abilities and develop solutions together that fit your life in the long term. We always meet you with respect, appreciation and as equals.
For more self-determination. For more participation. For a better quality of life.
For a life that follows your own path.
Let's talk
Whether you already receive support, have a care level, use integration assistance or simply want some information first, without obligation – we take time for you.
