Long-term care and long-term care insurance

Long-term care and long-term care insurance in Germany face enormous challenges. As a result of demographic change, demand for professional care services is rising steadily, while shortages in care staff are also becoming more severe. People in need of care and their families require care services tailored to their needs. Ensuring a high-quality care system that remains financially sustainable is a challenge for society as a whole.
