Respite Care – Important Support for Caregivers:
Healthcare provided by parents or other close relatives is a daunting task that often brings with it many challenges. Often, the healthcare provider finds themselves temporarily unable to provide home care, whether due to illness or a trip. In such cases, we step in to provide temporary home care services. This social services feature was created by the legislature to ease the burden on relatives while ensuring the necessary health and home care for those who need it.
Preventive care is a benefit offered by the statutory long-term care insurance, available from level 2. The maximum annual amount can reach €1,612. If the funds allocated for short-term care in an inpatient facility are not used, 50% of this budget (i.e., €806 per year) can be transferred to preventive care. This means that the total budget for temporary care can be increased to €2,418 per year.
When you are unable to be there to care for the patient, our professional team is ready to stand by you and provide appropriate healthcare. With our compassionate and empathetic approach, we ensure that your family receives quality care during this time, bringing peace and joy to their hearts.
