Help for outpatient care


Procedure

If a need for help with care is to be assumed, or if the need for care is not sufficiently financed by the benefits of the social care insurance (SGB XI), help with care according to SGB XII can be applied for at the responsible social center or specialist service. The adult social service then usually arranges a consultation appointment at the home of the person to be cared for, so that the circumstances on site can be taken into account in the planning.
The health department's nursing specialists determine the need for nursing care, and the social services department (adult social services) advises the person to be cared for about the possibilities of support.
