Procedure details
Description
Purpose
The purpose of the funding is to ensure a permanent, nationwide service for family caregivers that complements care advice in accordance with Section 7a SGB XI or care management in accordance with Section 11 (4) SGB V. In addition to relatives, other non-working carers and older people in need of care can also receive advice.
Object
The task of the specialist centers for family caregivers is to provide ongoing psychosocial advice to family caregivers in open cooperation with all those involved in the care network, to accompany them (also over the long term) and to support them with relief services.
Recipients of funding
Recipients of funding are primarily the associations of independent welfare services and their affiliated organizations, non-profit foundations and private providers, insofar as they carry out work with relatives and employ specialists.
Eligible costs
Personnel and material expenses of the specialist unit.
Type and amount
The funding is granted as a subsidy.
The type of funding is project funding.
Funding is provided for a period of 1 year(s).
The state grant is awarded as fixed-amount funding as part of project funding. The possible funding lump sum is based on the number of eligible specialists employed in the specialist unit. For a full-time specialist, the lump sum is up to EUR 35,000.00 per year.
Requirements
The individual requirements for the funding of a specialist center for caregiving relatives are regulated in Section I. 2. of the guidelines for funding in the "Bavarian Care Network". The lump-sum funding is granted in particular to trained care professionals and social education workers and comparable academic qualifications who are familiar with the support options for family caregivers due to several years of professional experience or who have taken part in appropriate further training. Priority must be given to statutory benefits. The specialist centers for family caregivers require municipal approval from the district or city in which they wish to operate.
