Essential activities of daily living (EADL), at home or in a care facility

EADLs cover five areas: personal hygiene, toileting, nutrition, dressing and mobility.

If the threshold for EIL is reached, other types of benefits may be granted:

1. Activities to support independence, at home or in a care facility: specialised individual or group activities
2. Activities to enable people to remain in their own homes: individual home care, group care in a day centre, night care, training for carers, assistance with household chores
3. Support activities in residential care: supervision of a dependent person during the day
4. Contribution to the cost of incontinence supplies: a monthly lump sum is paid to the dependent person living at home to contribute to the cost of incontinence supplies. If the dependent person lives in residential care, they do not need to pay for incontinence supplies.
5. Coverage of the carer's pension insurance contributions: under certain conditions, long-term care insurance may pay the pension contributions for the carer (family member or employee) who provides care at home.

Certain activities or services are not subject to the entry threshold condition. These include:

• training in the use of technical aids;
• coverage of technical aids;
• coverage of car adaptations;
• coverage of home adaptations.
