Care support centers; applying for a grant

The Free State of Bavaria grants subsidies for care support centers

Purpose

The purpose of care support centers is to advise people on all issues relating to care and to coordinate the assistance and support services available to them in order to ensure that they receive the best possible care and support close to home.

In order to strengthen local structures, the Bavarian State Ministry of Health, Care and Prevention supports local authorities (rural districts, independent cities, boroughs) as providers of care support centers with regular funding for the operation of ongoing care support centers.

The purpose of the funding is to ensure a long-term, state-wide advisory service for people in need of care.
