Respite services

Care needs strength - and good solutions. If you are cared for at home, you are entitled to the so-called relief amount. You are entitled to €131 per month. This allows you to organize your everyday life more flexibly - for yourself or your relatives.

These offers can be adopted

  • Day and night care or short-term care
  • Domestic help or support from outpatient care services
  • Low-threshold support services - for example by volunteers under professional guidance

For care level I, you can also use the amount for outpatient benefits in kind. For higher care levels, unused benefits in kind can be converted on a pro rata basis - up to 40% of the maximum amount per month.

Good to know

If you do not use the full amount in one year, this is not a problem: unused entitlements can be carried forward to the next calendar half-year.
