This plan provides ideal protection for every level of care required. The monthly allowance depends on the level of care or degree of care you need (Pflegegrad). It allows you to benefit from a government subsidy of 5 euros per month called 'Pflege-Bahr', named after the minister who introduced this scheme. There is no need for you to do anything – we take care of the paperwork and deduct the amount from your monthly payments.

PflegeAktiv key benefits: 

• fixed monthly cash benefit without the need to submit proof of actual expenses
• government-subsidised plan – you save up to 60 euros per year
• no questions about your health and medical history – easy and hassle-free application process
• extremely attractive premiums for people who take out a policy early in life

This plan provides comprehensive protection should you need long term nursing care. It pays you a fixed monthly income based on the level of care you require – no matter where you receive care (hospital or as a day patient) and by whom (relative or professional nurse).

According to your needs you can choose between Pflege 2+3 (benefits paid from care level 3 = Pflegegrad 3) and Pflege 3 (benefits paid from care level 4 = Pflegegrad 4). It is possible to adjust your monthly allowance to the increasing cost of care under certain conditions. You can also switch from Pflege3 to Pflege2+3 at certain times.

PflegePlus key benefits:

• fixed monthly cash benefit without the need to submit proof of actual expenses
• increase daily benefit or switch to another plan under certain conditions – no health questions and no waiting period  
• also pays when you are in hospital
• extremely attractive premiums for people who take out a policy early in life
