Pflegeversicherung is a social insurance program in Germany that provides financial assistance to individuals who require long-term care due to illness, disability, or old age. It helps cover the costs of nursing care and support services.
Think of Pflegeversicherung as a helping hand when you need extra support with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or eating. Just like a caregiver, it offers financial assistance to ensure you receive the necessary care.
Pflegestufe: Pflegestufen are classification levels used to determine the amount of care needed by an individual and the corresponding benefits they are eligible for under the Pflegeversicherung.
Angehörige: Angehörige refers to family members or relatives who provide informal caregiving support to individuals in need of long-term care.
Ambulante Pflege: Ambulante Pflege is home-based care provided by healthcare professionals such as nurses or therapists, allowing individuals to receive necessary care while remaining in their own homes.
