Respite services are a crucial component of long-term care insurance that can make the daily lives of those in need of care and their relatives much easier. In our latest video, we shed light on exactly how these services can benefit the LGBTIQ* community and improve their quality of life.

Understanding the respite services

The respite services include a variety of offers that support everyday life - from household-related services to group activities and individual care support. These are designed to reduce the burden on family carers and families of choice. You can use up to 125 euros a month for these services, and there is the option to save any unused amounts and use them later.

Specific support for the LGBTIQ community*

It is particularly important for LGBTIQ* people and their relatives or families of choice to find out about these respite services and make active use of them. They not only offer practical support, but also create an environment that recognises and respects the specific needs and identities of the LGBTIQ* community. This helps to create an inclusive and supportive environment that benefits everyone involved.

Practical tips for using the respite services

In our video, we show you how to make the most of respite care benefits to ensure the best possible care and support for you and your loved ones. We also give you advice on how best to use the respite allowance and how you can ensure that your individual needs and those of your loved ones are met.

My name is Andreas and I live and work in Berlin. As a care counsellor, I get to know many people who are either in need of care themselves, care for relatives or work in the care sector. People often tell me how difficult it is to navigate the world of care as a queer person. With my experience as a social insurance employee, I help queer people in care on a voluntary basis to find information and support.
