Pflege ABC offers a convenient online application service to apply for care grades (Pflegegrad) in Germany. Users can quickly and easily submit their care grade applications online for themselves or their relatives for free.

The service provides immediate availability, sending a fax directly to the responsible care insurance fund with just a few clicks. It saves time compared to phone calls or written inquiries, and the fax date counts as the application date, ensuring retroactive entitlement to benefits from that date. Additional forms are provided by the care insurance fund after the initial application.

Pflege ABC guides users through what happens after the informal application, from feedback from the care fund, filling out and returning forms, receiving assessment appointments, to preparing for the assessment visit. They offer tips for success such as keeping a care diary, having important documents ready, preparing for the assessment appointment, and advice on what to do if the application is denied.
