Your service must be recognized as an offer of support in everyday life under state law so that people in need of care can be reimbursed for its care or respite services under the long-term care insurance scheme.

Offers for support in everyday life within the meaning of long-term care insurance help to relieve the burden on caregivers and help those in need of care to

• remain in their home environment for as long as possible,
• maintain social contacts
• and continue to manage their everyday lives as independently as possible.

The services provide low-threshold care services and/or low-threshold respite services.

Everyday support services are provided in accordance with care insurance legislation:

• Care services: here, volunteers in particular take over the care of people in need of care with general or special care needs in groups or in the home under specialist care guidance,
• Offers to relieve caregivers: these are offers that provide targeted relief and advisory support for caregiving relatives and similarly close caregivers in their capacity as caregivers,
• Offers to relieve the burden of everyday life: these serve to support those in need of care in coping with the general or care-related demands of everyday life or in the household, in particular with household management, or in organizing individually required assistance independently.

An offer of support in everyday life can also cover several of the above-mentioned areas.

Examples of eligible offers for support in everyday life (AzUiA) are

• Care groups for people suffering from dementia
• Helpers' circles for the hourly relief of caregiving relatives or similarly close caregivers at home
• Day care in small groups
• Individual care by recognized helpers
• Family support services
• everyday companions
• care companions
• Service offers for household-related services.

In order for people in need of care to receive reimbursement for the services provided under the long-term care insurance scheme, you as the provider must first have the service recognized by the competent authority in accordance with the relevant state law. If you have received recognition,

• those in need of care from care level 1 have the option of reimbursement within the framework of the relief amount and
• those in need of care from care level 2 also have the option of reimbursement under the conversion entitlement.

The requirements for recognition are regulated on a state-specific basis.

Each federal state determines which authority is responsible for the respective recognition procedure. Depending on the type of offer, different authorities may be responsible for recognition in the state - this is regulated by state law.

In some federal states, you can take advantage of funding opportunities for voluntary offers.

You can find more information on the respective homepages of the federal states.
