Description

25 years of voluntary funding programme for care transition
The City of Munich has funded a voluntary support programme for care transition in Munich care facilities for 25 years until 2024. It was a response by the Munich City Council to the reports of the complaints centre for problems in long-term care.

Most recently, more than 50 fully inpatient care facilities in Munich were funded with around 40,000 euros per full-time position each year. In the early years, the qualification of care referrals was subsidised according to a specially developed curriculum. In 2006, an evaluation was carried out by the Catholic Foundation University in Munich. The work of the care transitions was based on a concept that was constantly updated and coordinated with the providers.

In 2023, the Munich City Council decided to end the voluntary "Care Transition" programme on 31 December 2024. From 2025, the funds released from this programme will be used to finance school social work in vocational schools for nursing and to increase the voluntary services of the "in-house day care" programme.

In October 2024, a celebration to mark the 25th anniversary of the funding programme was held with the care transition teams, facility and care service managers of the fully inpatient care facilities in Munich, representatives of the providers and associations and caregivers to honour the work of those employed in care transition.

Funding for the year 2024
In 2024, the care transition programme will be funded for the last time with a personnel cost subsidy in accordance with the guidelines.

In order to prove the use of the subsidy, the completed report form for 2024 must be submitted by 31 March 2025.

In addition, the annual wage account (statement of monthly wage costs plus employer's contribution) for 2024 for the subsidised position must also be submitted by 31 March 2025.

Task of the care transition
The care transition officer, a registered nursing professional, supports and accompanies people when they move into a full inpatient care facility. They perform the following tasks in particular:

- Advising and informing
- Organising and coordinating the move into the care facility
- Accompanying during the familiarisation period
- Handing over information to the care team
