Social assistance also supports people in need of care by covering all or part of the necessary costs associated with care.
Anyone who is dependent on outside help for the usual and regularly recurring activities of daily living due to illness or disability 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 care level 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.
The assumption of costs depends on income and assets.

In the course of life, everyone is exposed to a variety of influences and influences that can often lead to a temporary or permanent illness.
