Vollstationäre Pflege für gesetzlich Versicherte beantragen

People in need of care who are not cared for at home make use of full inpatient care in a nursing home.

Full inpatient care means that those in need of care are looked after and cared for in a nursing home.

The provision of medical care in nursing homes is no different from that for other insured persons who live at home. Residents of nursing homes have a free choice of doctor.

In the case of full inpatient care, long-term care insurance pays flat-rate benefits for care-related expenses, including the costs of care and the costs of medical treatment services in nursing homes.

The benefits for full inpatient care are as follows per month

• for care level 1: 125 euros allowance,
• for care level 2: 770 euros
• for care level 3: 1,262 euros,
• for care level 4: 1,775 euros and
• for care level 5: 2,005 euros

If the care insurance benefit is not sufficient to cover the care-related expenses, the person in need of care must pay a personal contribution.

In addition to the care-related co-payment, there are further costs for those in need of care in the case of full inpatient care:

• Costs for accommodation and meals.
• If applicable, separately calculable investment costs These are expenses incurred by the operator for purchases, building rent and similar, which can be passed on to those in need of care.
• Costs for special comfort or additional services must also be paid privately.

As a general rule, the costs for meals, accommodation, investments and comfort services vary greatly depending on the facility. It is therefore advisable to obtain detailed information when choosing a home.

In addition to the care-related personal contribution, there are also costs for the training supplement for those in need of full inpatient care.
