Section 41 Eleventh Book of the Social Code (SGB XI)
http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/sgb_11/__41.html

Persons in need of care who are generally cared for at home can be cared for at night in a facility.

Night care is intended to support home care. You can make use of night care services if home care cannot be provided to a sufficient extent or if this is necessary to supplement or strengthen home care. Within the framework of the maximum benefit amounts, the long-term care insurance fund covers 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 calculable investment costs, on the other hand, must always be borne privately. Night care facilities look after people in need of care who need help with going to bed, getting up and with personal hygiene measures. Night care facilities are often used by people with dementia who have a disturbed day-night rhythm. If they are accommodated in a night care facility at night, the relatives can sleep through the night and take care of the person in need of care during the day. Persons in need of care in care grades 2 to 5 can claim part-time inpatient day and night care in addition to outpatient care benefits in kind, care allowance or the combination benefit according to Section 38 without being offset against these entitlements.

Find out from your care insurance fund which documents are required and whether there is a special application form.

People in need of care with care grade 1 can use a benefit amount of 125 euros for night care. This amount corresponds to the monthly relief contribution.

Night care (partly inpatient care) is understood to mean care during the night in a care facility, although the person in need of care is in home care during the day.
