Outpatient care assistance

Social assistance also supports people in need of care by covering all or part of the necessary costs associated with care.

Anyone who, due to illness or disability, is dependent on outside help for the usual and regularly recurring activities of daily living is entitled to "care assistance". However, this is only provided if the person in need of care is unable to pay for the care services themselves or receives them from others - for example from the care insurance.

The assumption of costs is dependent on income and assets.

Home emergency call

The home emergency call system is a service offered by welfare organizations. It enables disabled and elderly people to call for help in an emergency.

If you have at least care level 1, you can apply to your care insurance fund for a proportion of the costs to be covered. If there is no degree of care or if income and assets are not sufficient to cover the remaining costs, an application can be made to the social benefits and job center. The need for this is determined by the advice centers for independent living in old age.
