Grant for the Support of 24-Hour Care

Purpose and Scope of the Funding
The grant to support 24-hour care is aimed at individuals in need of care and assistance who are entitled to care allowance in Vorarlberg. The goal is to facilitate the organization and financing of around-the-clock care in the home environment. Through an open-ended, continuously available application period, private individuals can apply for financial support towards the costs of personal care. Relatives in care allowance levels 1 and 2 particularly benefit from the funding, as they can demonstrate the need for continuous care through a specialist medical or expert confirmation.

Funding Requirements and Application Documents
A prerequisite for approval is a care relationship in accordance with the Home Care Act as well as a valid notice of entitlement to care allowance under federal or state legal provisions. In cases of dementia, a medical diagnosis is required. Only expenses for 24-hour care by qualified personal caregivers are eligible for funding. Submission of the federal care allowance notice and, if applicable, a specialist medical report enables prompt processing. Since the deadline is open-ended, applications can be submitted at any time. Interested parties can obtain further details and request the necessary forms from the responsible Senior and Care Services Department of the State of Vorarlberg if needed.
