Home nursing care benefits for people with statutory accident insurance

Service Description

You will receive home nursing care from your employer's liability insurance association or accident insurance fund if hospital treatment is necessary due to an accident at work or on the way to work or a recognized occupational disease, but cannot be carried out (for example, no free hospital beds). You can also receive home nursing care if hospital treatment can be avoided or shortened by home nursing care.

An entitlement only exists

  • if the aim of the treatment is not jeopardized,
  • if a person living in the household cannot reasonably be expected to care for you to the extent required and
  • if the home nursing care is appropriate and justifiable, also taking into account the principles of economic efficiency.

The following services can be provided as part of home nursing care:

  • Basic care,
  • treatment care,
  • Help with household chores, e.g. shopping, cooking, cleaning
  • If your employer's liability insurance association or accident insurance fund is unable to provide you with a carer or if a carer cannot be provided, you will be reimbursed for the costs of a carer you procure yourself to an appropriate amount.
