The purpose of the funding is to ensure a permanent, nationwide service for family caregivers that complements care advice in accordance with Section 7a SGB XI or care management in accordance with Section 11 (4) SGB V. In addition to relatives, other non-working carers and older people in need of care can also receive advice.
The task of the specialist centers for family caregivers is to provide ongoing psychosocial advice to family caregivers in open cooperation with all those involved in the care network, to accompany them (also in the long term) and to support them with relief services.
Recipients of funding are primarily the associations of independent welfare services and their affiliated organizations, non-profit foundations and private providers, insofar as they carry out work with relatives and employ specialists.
Personnel and material expenses of the specialist unit.
The state grant is awarded as fixed-amount funding within the framework of project funding. The possible funding lump sum is based on the number of eligible specialists employed by the specialist unit. For a full-time specialist, the lump sum is up to 24,000.00 euros per year.
The individual requirements for the funding of a specialist center for caregiving relatives are regulated in Section I. 2. of the guidelines for funding in the "Bavarian Care Network". The flat-rate funding is granted in particular for trained care professionals and social education workers and comparable academic qualifications who are familiar with the support options for family caregivers due to several years of professional experience or who have taken part in appropriate further training. Priority must be given to statutory benefits. The specialist centers for family caregivers require municipal approval from the district or independent city in which they wish to operate.
The application must be submitted in writing or electronically to the Bavarian State Office for Nursing. The forms provided must be used.
Funding is provided without legal entitlement within the scope of available budget funds.
