SCANDAL in the Heilbronn social welfare office: applications for care remain lying around for years!
In a SCANDALOUS incident that has thrown the entire region into turmoil, residents of a nursing home in the Rems-Murr district are complaining about intolerable conditions! The Heilbronn social welfare office did not process an application for “help with care” for a whole year! [SWR]. A fate that also awaits SIX other residents!
With unbearable home costs of up to 3,480 euros per month and hollowed-out pensions, those affected are facing an unimaginable catastrophe. The affected resident cannot even begin to afford his pension and his personal assets have long since been used up. The nursing home currently has to spend a horrendous 245,000 euros itself! Where is the legal and social protection of people in need of help?
The dilemma of care applications
But the problems continue: Despite MULTIPLE REMINDERS, the social welfare office did not respond with the necessary urgency! The authorities are playing with the lives and dignity of people who need care! While the institution calls for legal regulation of processing times and an interim financing model, the social welfare office explains succinctly that processing is often complex. This sounds like a tactic to avoid responsibilities!
The emotional situation of the affected families is disastrous! How can it be that these catastrophic waiting times occur for people in need of care who are not entitled to nursing care insurance benefits? According to Konsumerzentrale, there is a CIRCLE-WIDE PARADIGM CHANGE because social long-term care insurance does not fully cover the risk of long-term care. The arterial supply of these people is neglected in the most shameful way!
A system on the brink
The frightening moments of these circumstances are not an isolated case: many care facilities are fighting for survival and have already slipped into bankruptcy or have had to drastically reduce the number of places they have! The conditions in the homes resemble an ECONOMIC DISASTER SCENARIO! More and more people are facing the abyss while the authorities stand by and do nothing. What is the solution to this incredible misery?
- Die soziale Pflegeversicherung muss reformiert werden!
- Die Antragsbearbeitungsfristen müssen gesetzlich geregelt werden!
- Ein soziales Sicherheitsnetz, das den Namen auch verdient, darf nicht länger auf sich warten lassen!
The system must be made fairer to guarantee people in need of care the regularity they deserve! pflege.de emphasizes that responsibility for care costs in Germany is complex and social support is essential. It cannot be that irresponsible bureaucracy decides people's fate!
How long are we going to sit and watch this drama? It is time to stand up for the rights of citizens in need of help and hold those responsible accountable!
