What do I do now?
The care guide
A sudden need for care overwhelms many families. Here is the clear way forward.
Recognising the need for care
Is your relative finding personal hygiene, cooking or the home difficult to manage? Are cognitive impairments becoming visible? This is the first step.
Apply for a care level
Submit an application to the long-term care insurance fund (form available by telephone or online). The MDK medical service then carries out an assessment at your home – free of charge. An urgent application is possible if the need is acute.
Get advice
Free care advice from your long-term care insurance fund (Section 7a SGB XI) – guaranteed within 2 weeks. Or directly from local providers such as Kranken- & Altenpflege Keller.
Select an offer
Home care at home, day care for relief or full residential care – depending on the care level and on the wishes of the person in need of care. Several services can be used at the same time.
Claim benefits
Care benefits in kind, care allowance, respite care, short-term care – combine your entitlements in the best possible way. Care services bill your insurance fund directly. Good to know: since July 2025 there has been a joint annual amount of up to €3,539 for respite care and short-term care (from care level 2, Section 42a SGB XI) which you can divide flexibly between the two – for example if the person who normally cares for you is unavailable.

Oral health & care –
why the two belong together
Good oral health is crucial, particularly in old age and when a person is in need of care. People in need of care have a particularly high risk of oral disease.
Regular dental check-ups – also and especially where mobility is restricted – are an important part of holistic health care. Many dental practices now offer home visits and special care for senior citizens.
Dental advice in Weißenfels
Dr. Sandro Strößner
You have found “Dr. Strößner” – the little Easter egg on this page. I am a dentist in Weißenfels. Care is part of my working life every day: oral health in old age is one of the most underestimated topics in our health care system. Over the years I have also seen how helpless relatives feel when a care level suddenly has to be applied for, a place in a home has to be found or a home care service has to be arranged. This help does exist in Weißenfels – it is simply hard to find. This guide is intended to change exactly that: an honest, local overview. Without referral commission, without false promises. What is written here genuinely helps.
