IMPORTANT NOTICE: PflegeEasy is a private service provided by EHV GmbH. We are not a government agency, are not affiliated with any government office or long-term care insurance fund, and are not commissioned by any state agency. This version reflects German long-term care law (SGB XI) — it is suitable for anyone dealing with a German long-term care insurance fund, even if they live in Austria or Switzerland. Your long-term care insurance fund alone decides on your care level and benefits. PflegeEasy is an organizational and application tool, not legal or health advice.

Caring for someone doesn't give you the energy for bureaucratic jargon. PflegeEasy takes the paperwork off your hands—in plain language, step by step.
FILL OUT. PRINT. SEND.
The app fills out 18 real long-term care insurance forms directly from the original documents (AOK, BARMER, DAK, hkk, KKH, KNAPPSCHAFT, Techniker Krankenkasse)—plus 11 ready-made letters, from the initial application to the timely appeal. You answer simple questions, and the app marks the appropriate boxes. At the end, you print the completed form or send it directly as a PDF.
THE RIGHT LEVEL OF CARE
The quick check categorizes your situation using the statutory points system (§ 15 SGB XI) based on seven questions. The care diary guides you through all 64 official assessment questions—after 14 days, you have a legally sound document for your appointment with the Medical Service, including a common mistake for each question (the "good day trap").
MONEY THAT OFTEN GOES UNAVAILABLE
The benefits radar displays all 37 long-term care insurance benefits with their amounts and legal basis—plus 24 state-specific benefits from all 16 federal states, tailored to your postal code. The budget monitor warns you before your relief allowance, respite care budget, or care box expires.
RESIDENTIAL CARE
From initial consideration to contract: 7 steps including short-term care as a trial stay, neutral placement search, review of the care home contract before signing, and the complaints procedure up to the care home supervisory authority. Includes all benefit amounts and the surcharges that reduce the out-of-pocket costs based on the length of stay.
DEADLINES, ADVICE, EMERGENCY
Deadline monitor for appeals and the 25-working-day deadline set by the health insurance fund. 50 advisory services—from legally mandated free care consultations to a dementia hotline. 12 emergency numbers, accessible even without internet access.
HONEST AND SECURE
All case data remains encrypted on your device. No account required, no advertising, no data sales. Every figure in the app has a legal basis (as of January 1, 2026).
Viewing is free: Emergency numbers, quick check, and benefit radar are free. Generating completed applications and documents unlocks full access — €19.90 per year, cancelable at any time.
PflegeEasy is an organizational and application tool, not a legal or health advice service. The long-term care insurance provider alone determines the level of care required. Versions for other countries will be available as separate apps.
