Persons in need of care in the Märkischer Kreis: an alarming increase!

In the Märkisches Kreis, the number of people in need of care recorded a worrying increase. According to Radiomk there were around 32,700 people in 2023 who are dependent on care. This corresponds to an increase of 14.5 percent compared to 2021.

In this situation, the AOK Pfeltenvigator is a helpful resource. The free service enables families to compare the quality and costs of nursing homes and nursing services. This platform not only offers transparency regarding its own cost shares, but also evaluates central aspects of care such as personal care, medication and independence of the residents.

care and supply structures

The collecting of data on those in need of care takes place from an important statistical interest. The Statistics For care affects everyone who received care benefits on December 31. The aim is to create a comprehensive and reliable picture of domestic and inpatient care. This data is crucial for the planning and further development of the eleventh book Social Code (SGB XI).

The information collected not only includes detailed information about care facilities, but also about the personnel employed there and the caregivers in need of care. This data enables countries and circles to make well -founded decisions on the nursing care structure, which is particularly stored by § 9 SGB XI.

challenges for relatives and care facilities

The increase in those in need of care not only presents relatives of challenges, but also the care facilities themselves. The increased pressure requires adequate adjustment of the supply structures. The data obtained from the surveys are therefore indispensable in order to recognize developments in the demand for care services and to react accordingly.

The transparency created by the AOK Pfeltenvigator helps families to make informed decisions. In view of the increasing number of people in need of care, it is becoming increasingly important to use these supportive offers to facilitate everyday care and to secure the quality of life of those affected.

In summary, it can be said that the situation in the Märkisches Kreis makes a comprehensive examination of the challenges in the nursing sector necessary. The socio -political relevance of the data collected cannot be emphasized enough to shape future care policy and ensure the needs -based care.
