Long term care and end of life

Long-term care insurance is one of the branches of social security. It covers the costs of assistance and care required by people who are dependent on others. Various types of benefits are available.

The end of life is a delicate time that requires special attention, both medically and emotionally. To provide the best possible support for people at the end of their lives and their relatives, several measures have been put in place:

  • palliative care,
  • funeral allowance,
  • family hospice leave.
