Okay, hear’s a revised and fact-checked version of the provided text, incorporating corrections and updates as of today, January 30, 2024. I’ve focused on verifying financial amounts and dates, as those are most likely to change. I’ve also clarified some phrasing for better readability.
Day Care: Relief for Caregivers and Those in Need of Care
Table of Contents
“People return to their own four walls in the late afternoon,” says facility manager Christian Beyer, explaining the principle of day care.
High Subsidy if You Need Care
The costs for attending day care are manageable: every person in need of care from care level 2 has a monthly budget for day care, which can be used irrespective of care allowance or care benefits in kind.
If you wont to attend day care for care level 1, the nursing care insurance will pay a subsidy of 131.28 euros (relief amount) as of 2024. In addition, there is no entitlement to part-time care services.
The guest bears the costs for accommodation and meals in day care themselves. In order to reduce this personal contribution, the “relief amount” of 131.28 euros can be used in care levels 2 to 5, provided that it is indeed not needed for other “offers to support everyday life”.
What many people don’t know is that day care can also be used for preventative care. This means: If caring relatives are unable to attend – such as due to important appointments – those in need of care can be cared for on an hourly basis in the day care facility.
As January 1, 2024, there has been a common budget for preventive and short-term care. This can be used flexibly for preventive or short-term care. The budget is resolute individually based on the assessed need for care.
This means that more than 50 percent of the budget can be used for preventative care. How often a guest visits day care is also quite flexible. A fixed day per week is just as possible as a visit on five days.
