Relief for caring relatives: presented new offers in Erfurt!

Erfurt, Deutschland - more and more relatives are facing the challenge of maintaining their loved ones. This can not only burden physically, but also emotionally and in terms of time. Today, on June 17, 2025, it is pointed out that these loads are known, but numerous support offers are only insufficiently used. The city of Erfurt reports that numerous caring relatives are not sufficiently informed despite available consulting and training programs as well as relief services in order to claim this aid. Anke Penner, the project initiator of the Erfurt location "Nursing Literary", emphasizes that it is important to develop targeted support offers that specifically respond to the needs of the different groups of caring relatives. The request will be pursued as part of the event series "Mental Fit in Erfurt", in cooperation with the Erfurt health department.

But what support can be offered for caring relatives? Access to various aids is crucial for individual and needs -based care for people in need of care. In addition to emotional support, financial, nursing and legal aid are also important. An often helpful instrument is the care allowance, which represents state support to cover the costs of care. Many caring relatives are not aware of the various possibilities, such as family hospice leave, that make it possible to accompany seriously ill relatives without losing the job.

concrete relief offers for relatives

support offers are diverse and range from home visits from nursing staff to quality assurance in domestic care to special courses and training for nursing parents and children. The mobile social services not only offer visiting services, but also food delivery services and home aids. Daily centers also provide extensive care offers for seniors. Access to these services can be made via the nursing care fund or local care support points.

• Housekeeping help: cleaning, laundry maintenance, shopping and cooking by relatives, friends or professional services.
• treatment care: taking medication, creating aids and wound care, mostly covered by outpatient care services.
• Support for personal hygiene: help with showering, dressing and toilet ducts as well as driving services for doctor's appointments, everything can be supported by the health insurance company.

offers are also particularly important for offers for flat -rate help in everyday life. Relatives must know that they are entitled to short -term care or preventive care if they urgently need time -outs. The planned changes on July 1, 2025 determine a joint annual amount for prevention and short-term care of a maximum of 3,539 euros, which should be a noticeable relief for many families.

law and care

Another aspect that should not be neglected is legal advice for caring relatives. Patients are supported by patients and help with questions about patient rights. In addition, adult protection law covers important points if difficulties in the decision -making process should be received. Admire the possibilities that Electronic Health Record (ELGA) offers, as it enables relatives to get an insight into the health data of their loved ones at any time.

It is essential that caring relatives take the support that they are entitled to. This is the only way to ensure that the care and security can be guaranteed. The information platform nursing.gv.at provides numerous further information and is a good starting point for all questions about care.
