To whom and on what terms
You can apply for short-term round-the-clock service housing when your functional ability has deteriorated due to illness, injury or other similar reason and you need support for living at home. The service is granted to persons with an informal carer to enable statutory days off for the informal carer and also to support the resources of persons caring for their relatives without support for informal care as well as in acute crisis situations.
The service may be granted to you on the basis of a service needs assessment. The assessment is conducted by a service instructor in cooperation with you and your relative(s), if necessary. A range of physical, mental, cognitive or social functional ability assessment scales will be used to support the assessment of the overall situation. The provision of short-term care is always based on service needs and not on other circumstances, such as the need for temporary housing.
