Care and health
care allowance
In short and in plain language
Care allowance is money from long-term care insurance.
It is for people who plan their own care at home. Most of the time, the family helps.
Benefits in kind are not the same. There, a care service comes to do the work.
Definition
A cash benefit of long-term care insurance for people who organise their care at home themselves, usually with relatives. It is distinct from benefits in kind, where a care service carries out the visits.
