Home help in the event of illness
An illness can severely restrict everyday life. Many of those affected therefore ask themselves when they are entitled to household help in the event of illness. Here you can find out what support you are entitled to.
Entitlement to household help in the event of illness
Anyone who is no longer able to manage their own household due to illness is entitled to support - either through a recognized care degree or a doctor's prescription if the illness is expected to last less than six months. We help you claim this entitlement from your health insurance provider and reliably take over the necessary everyday tasks. Whether after an operation, during a serious illness or in the event of long-term health restrictions - our trained helpers ensure that you can concentrate fully on your recovery. With our experience, we accompany you step by step from the application to the practical implementation of the home help.
ME/CFS
People with ME/CFS are often severely restricted in their everyday lives. We know how stressful this illness can be and offer targeted household help for people with the disease.

Relief in everyday life
The entitlement to household help often arises when illness or therapy makes everyday life noticeably more difficult.
In the case of cancer: During cancer therapy, after operations or during stressful treatment phases, patients can receive household help. In the case of cancer, it is possible to receive a provisional care level for extensive assistance.
After rehabilitation: Even after a rehabilitation program, the ability to cope with stress is often still limited. Those affected may be entitled to household help if they are unable to manage their household on their own and no other person is available to support them.
For MS: People with multiple sclerosis repeatedly experience episodes of illness that make it difficult to cope with everyday life. In such phases, the care insurance fund can finance a home help to relieve those affected.
For mental illnesses: Not only physical, but also mental illnesses can justify an entitlement to household help. If it is medically confirmed that housekeeping is no longer possible, the health insurance company will often cover the costs.
