A relative needs care

From the phone call from the hospital to ongoing care: time off work, care level, power of attorney, benefits, your job and your own relief, in the right order.

How the roadmap works. Answer the questions. Your roadmap for the first ten days, the first weeks and the time after the care level notice is built from your answers. It lists deadlines, documents and responsible offices.

Your roadmap

The roadmap needs JavaScript. Without JavaScript you can find all content on the target group pages, for example Arbeitslose und Arbeitnehmer.

As of October 2026. The roadmap arranges general information according to your answers. It does not review an individual case, does not replace legal advice and does not assess your dismissal or any deadline as valid, met or missed. Whether an entitlement exists is decided by the responsible office; deadlines and amounts change often – check important details with an advice centre.

Ask your question

On a decision, deadline, application or responsibility. You get an answer with the matching page, the responsible office and the next step, usually within two working days. No legal advice in individual cases, no sharing of your data.
