Sofort Hilfe im Pflegefall

A valuable support for families in caregiving situations. When a family member requires care, life is turned upside down. Partners, parents, or in-laws suddenly need significantly more support. Urgent questions arise that require immediate answers. However, in a situation that is already stressful, there is often little time for extensive research and planning. Can we manage care at home? Who can we turn to? How do we apply for a care level, and what financial assistance are we entitled to? This book provides compact, clear answers and practical advice to help maintain a clear mind even in difficult times and to ensure the best possible support for those in need of care as well as relief for their relatives. The guide from Stiftung Warentest offers a quick overview of the most important steps in the event of needing care and assists in organizing good care. It addresses all the updates from the current care reform of 2023, which largely came into effect in 2024. This includes the flexible relief budget, dynamic benefits in care, and increased subsidies for care costs in facilities.
