Leoben-based care activist Klaus Katzianka and Graz-based legal expert Harald Christandl believe that people who want to be cared for at home are treated unequally. As talks have not made any progress for years, the two are now seeking a model lawsuit and a popular petition for care.

Anna, Maria and Klaus are a well-rehearsed team. When one of the caregivers leaves Klaus Katzianka's apartment on the outskirts of Leoben after a 14-day cycle, the other unpacks her suitcase. Both women come from Slovakia and have been looking after the 63-year-old for many years.
