Offers for support in everyday life; applying for funding

Everyday support services are intended to provide hourly relief for people in need of care as well as caregiving relatives. Providers of recognized offers for support in everyday life can receive a grant as part of project funding.

Purpose

Through offers for support in everyday life, there is an additional range of services for people in need of care at home from care level 1. Up to 131 euros per month can be used as a standardized relief amount for quality-assured care and relief services. The aim is to relieve the person in need of care themselves in their everyday life as well as caregiving relatives and similarly close persons from the burden of care and the associated physical and emotional stress.

The purpose of the funding is to promote the establishment and expansion of services to provide support in everyday life. In particular, this is intended to create appropriate care and respite services as well as participation opportunities for people in need of care and opportunities to relieve the burden on family caregivers and similarly close relatives.
