Care aids

Care aids support you where relief is needed in everyday life: they make care at home easier and help people in need of care to live as independently and pain-free as possible.

We cover the costs of care aids if they

  • make care easier,
  • alleviate discomfort or
  • enable more independence in everyday life.

Which aids are meant?

Aids to make care easier:
Care beds, bed pads, care recliners or special bed tables

Aids for personal care and hygiene:
Washing systems or products for hygiene in bed

Aids for more independence and mobility:
Home emergency call systems or technical everyday aids

Aids to alleviate discomfort:
Positioning aids such as rollers or pillows

Good to know

If a care aid is provided on a permanent basis, you will make a co-payment of 10%, up to a maximum of €25 per aid. This co-payment does not apply to insured persons under the age of 18. If the aid is only provided on loan, you pay nothing.

Disposable gloves, face masks and disinfectants are daily helpers and can usually only be used once. We pay you an allowance of up to €40 per month for these aids - unbureaucratically and reliably.
