I can imagine what you are going through. When my husband was taken ill, I had no idea about Pflegegeld and such things, I had to read up about most things myself. When your FIL has a pflegestufe, along with thePflegegeld you are also entitled to Entlastungsgeld of 125,00 € per month. The 125,00 € is on a special account at the KK and you can only use it for so called services from a certified provider to help with the household chores and things like that. Die auch als Entlastungsbetrag bezeichneten Entlastungsleistungen sind ein festes Budget, das pflegebedürftigen Menschen, egal welchen Pflegegrads, monatlich zusteht. Hier können 125 Euro monatlich geltend gemacht werden, um zum Beispiel pflegende Angehörige finanziell zu entlasten. Weiterhin ist es Dienstleistern möglich, diese Gelder direkt mit der Pflegekasse abzurechnen. https://digitaler-pflegeantrag.de/blog-entlastungsleistungen/?gad=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8fzOw_60gAMV5JKDBx2c8QY_EAAYASABEgIw__D_BwE People with a Pflegrad are also entitled to Pflegehilfsmittel to the amount of 40,00 E per month.
