For Mrs. Pichler and her family, it was a big step when they decided to go with 24-hour care. Her loved ones wanted her to be well looked after in her own home - both physically and emotionally. But what specific services are included in 24-hour care, and why is this model an ideal solution, especially in Burgenland?

 

Comprehensive care for your loved ones

The 24-hour care service includes a wide range of services that are individually tailored to the needs of those in need of care. These include:

  • Personal care: Assistance with personal hygiene and mobilization.
  • Emotional support: Providing companionship, holding conversations and creating emotional closeness.
  • Household management: Cooking, shopping, laundry and cleaning.
  • Medical care: Assistance with taking medication and support in medical matters.

 

In Burgenland, where many people live in rural areas, this type of care is particularly important, as it is often not possible for relatives to provide long-term care. 24-hour care allows your loved ones to remain in their familiar surroundings while being well looked after around the clock.

This all-round care ensures that they not only receive physical care, but also thrive emotionally and do not feel lonely - a concern that often exists in more rural areas. This noticeably improves the quality of life of those in need of care in Burgenland.

The decision to provide 24-hour care is a step that needs to be well thought out, both emotionally and financially. Many families are faced with the question: What will we actually have to face? Mrs. Pichler can tell you a thing or two about it. She and her family were also unsure at the beginning about how they would manage the childcare costs. However, you need background knowledge and information to be able to make a cost breakdown and plan.

In this overview, we show you what costs are typically associated with 24-hour care. Round-the-clock care includes many services that are individually tailored to the needs of your loved one. The costs are usually made up of the caregiver's salary, travel expenses and a placement fee:

You can find out exactly what is available to your loved ones and how you can apply for the right funding in the next section.

 

Funding and care allowance

For the Pichler family, it was a real turning point when they learned that there are various grants that can significantly reduce the financial burden of 24-hour care. At the beginning, they didn't know that care allowance and regional subsidies would provide relief. But after the initial consultation, it was clear: there are many financial support measures that can be taken advantage of.

 

How does the care allowance help with 24-hour care?

The care allowance in Austria is granted in different care allowance levels and is based on the amount of care required and the amount of care time needed. Depending on how much support your loved one needs, you can receive a care allowance to help cover the costs of care at home.

The amount of care allowance depends on the care level, which is determined by the level of care required. The following table shows you how much care allowance will be paid for the different levels in 2025:

 

Care levels 2025

Care levels & amounts 2025

Care level Amount 2025
Level 1 (more than 65 hours of care per month) 200.80 euros
Level 2 (more than 95 hours of care required per month) 370.30 euros
Level 3 (more than 120 hours of care required per month) 577.00 euros
Level 4 (more than 160 hours of care required per month) 865.10 euros
Level 5 (more than 180 hours of care required for exceptional care needs) 1,175.20 euros
Level 6 (more than 180 hours of care with regular round-the-clock care) 1,641.10 euros
Level 7 (more than 180 hours of care with extremely limited mobility) 2,156.60 euros

 

Depending on your loved one's care needs, you can therefore count on suitable support to help you alleviate the financial burden of care at home. On the website finanz.at you will find a Cost Calculator, which you can use to calculate the care allowance you are entitled to.

 

More subsidies in Burgenland

In addition to the care allowance, Burgenland also offers regional funding opportunities, that are specifically available to those in need of care or their families. To receive this funding for 24-hour care, an application is required. The prerequisite for this is that a subsidy has already been approved, i.e. the subsidy case has already been checked for legality. In addition, the care allowance must be at least level 4 - in the case of dementia, level 3 with specialist medical confirmation is sufficient.

The amount of support is then based on income and the care allowance. It covers the difference between the care costs (including fees, travel costs and agency fees) and the excess of the person receiving care. You will receive a maximum of 500 euros per month, in special cases even up to 700 euros.

Mrs. Pichler was lucky: not only was she able to apply for care allowance, but she was also able to benefit from the Burgenland state subsidy, which enabled her to have her apartment redesigned to be care-friendly.
