Community Association President Pressl supports the care of the federal states.

Community Association President Johannes Pressl welcomes the initiative of the state social officers to continue and increase the federal care fund, but also to examine new forms of financing-such as the inclusion of the 13th and 14th pension reference to the financing of care in homes. “We want to provide our parent and grandparent generation in the future- with high care levels and if the relatives or lower threshold facilities can no longer make it- even in homes,” said the Beauty rub. However, homes are the most expensive form of care, he explains. Around ꞓ 6,000 to ꞓ 8,000 (depending on the care level) are the home place costs per month. A home place is currently being financed by the retention of 80% of the 12-time pensioner of the people to be cared for and with billions of billions from tax funds that manage the federal states and municipalities. Vacation and Christmas bonuses are currently not being included in the financing. “The 13th and 14th pension reference to 80% is also an option because a nursing home already sets up good basic equipment in care and hygiene products. Not much has to be done privately. Only special hygiene articles or special cosmetics etc. Pressl.

Around 96,000 people were in stationary long -term care in 2022. Tendency is increasing massively, which must also be an objective care discussion. “With some who have also expressed skeptically in the past few days, I have also made calls and agreed talks,” so Presslwhich sees a common need for action. “As with the current budget renovation, the topic is too serious to let it smell on particular interests. We also have to find long -term and just solutions to common tables on the subject of nursing finance,” he appeals not to simply decompose suggestions such as those of the social speakers of the countries. A few years ago, the nursing dress was rightly abolished and thus relieved the relatives of the caregivers to be cared for. All the more, a discussion about it must now be possible to use the holiday and Christmas bonus (13th and 14th pension) of a 80% share to finance the long-term nursing home stay.
