Tagespflege für gesetzlich Pflegeversicherte

People in need of care who are generally cared for at home can be cared for during the day in a day care facility.

Day care is intended to provide accompanying support for care at home. You can make use of day care services if home care cannot be provided to a sufficient extent or if this is necessary to supplement or strengthen home care.

Day care is generally used by people in need of care whose relatives work during the day. Those in need of care are usually collected in the morning and returned home in the afternoon.

Within the framework of the maximum benefit amounts, the nursing care insurance fund assumes the care-related expenses, including the expenses for care, and the expenses for the medical treatment care services required in the facility. The costs for accommodation and meals as well as separately billable investment costs, on the other hand, must always be borne privately.

The maximum benefit amount for monthly includes

• for care degree 2: 689 Euro,
• for care level 3: 1,298 euros,
• for care degree 4: 1.612 Euro and
• for care degree 5: 1,995 euros.

Persons with care degree 1 can use their relief contribution (up to 125 euros) for day care.

Partial inpatient care also includes the necessary transport of the person in need of care from the home to the day care facility and back.

Persons in need of care in care grades 2 to 5 can claim day and night care in addition to outpatient care benefits in kind, care allowance or the combination benefit in accordance with § 38, without these entitlements being offset.
