Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Social Gerontology

Background:

  • The German long-term care insurance system faces challenges due to evolving societal needs.
  • Current eligibility criteria may not fully capture the complexities of care dependency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reform eligibility criteria for German long-term care insurance.
  • To introduce a new assessment tool addressing system shortcomings.

Main Methods:

  • A survey of international long-term care systems was conducted.
  • Relevant literature on care needs and assessment tools was reviewed.
  • A new eligibility determination tool was developed based on these findings.

Main Results:

  • The new tool expands the definition of 'dependency on nursing care'.
  • It quantifies dependency as a degree of needed personal assistance.
  • This degree informs eligibility and benefit levels for long-term care.

Conclusions:

  • The revised understanding of dependency and the new tool are crucial for future adaptation.
  • These advancements help the German long-term care insurance system meet demographic and societal changes.
