If one parent fails - often it is the mother - maybe due to a sickness, the family is facing big problems. Who goes shopping? Who cooks? Who supervises homework?

The family care of Diakonie Bavaria -  an obligatory service of the health insurances, by the way- makes sure that

• the children are looked after
• sick and disabled family members are nursed
• the household is running smoothly

in case the family can´t manage alone.

Possible situations:

• Treatment of the mother or father
• Any forms of treatment
• Stay in hospital
• Acute sickness at home
• Riskful pregnancy, giving birth or multiple birth
• Special stress, sickness, in need of care or disability
• Psychological or educational stress
