If you are granted care level 3, it's a clear sign: your care needs have increased significantly, and managing care at home is becoming increasingly difficult. 🛑 But the good news is: the financial support from your long-term care insurance is also taking a huge leap! In this first part of our series on care level 3, we explain exactly what "severe impairment of independence" means in everyday life, how much care allowance and in-kind care benefits will be in 2026, and how you can get the best of both worlds with combined care. 💡 Calculate your care level for free in advance or submit your application for a higher level: ➡️ https://www.pflege-helfer24.de ⏱️ Chapter overview (Simply jump to the topic): 00:00 Intro: When home care becomes too difficult 00:25 What does care level 3 mean in everyday life?

In everyday life, this means that assistance with basic care (washing, dressing, eating) several times a day is essential. This care level is also the standard for advanced dementia. The budgets for 2026 at a glance: Care allowance: €599 per month (if family members or friends provide care entirely on their own). Long-term care benefits: €1,497 per month (the budget for professional outpatient care services). The successful "combined care" model: We'll show you a concrete example of why you don't have to choose! If you only use half of the budget for the care service, your health insurance fund will transfer the remaining 50 percent of the care allowance directly to your account. We'll also explain how you can now use the €131 relief allowance specifically for everyday support or dementia support groups.
