What Is a Care Level?

A care level (1 to 5) shows how much daily support someone needs. The classification is made by the Medical Service on behalf of the Pflegekasse. Care level 1 means minor impairment, care level 5 means most severe impairment. The higher the care level, the more benefits are available.

A care level is helpful for your CAIR booking because it affects cost calculations. But you can also start without one.
