In Berlin it is bubbling: The Nursing Competence Act is facing the decision -making battle! Will it promise the salvation bearer for the care facilities, or just another empty? The Federal Association of Private Provider Social Services (BPA) raises the alarm and urgently demands measures to secure the economic basis of care.

The BPA President, Bernd Meurer, is anything but enthusiastic about the current design. With a sharp tongue he criticizes: "The economic protection of our care facilities is shamelessly neglected!" Meurer warns that the new regulations do not make the remuneration negotiations easier with the payers, but on the contrary, represent a real investment obstacle. Where's the innovation?

Strengthening existing structures instead of creating new problems!

Meurer is convinced: instead of playing around with new concepts, the existing landscape of the shared apartments (WGS) should be consolidated. "In the past few years, the federal government, countries and carriers have done a lot to create a functioning supply network that is valued by people," he emphasizes. But the current draft laws endanger this system! Instead of new ideas, such as the establishment of community forms of living, we should increase the necessary grants to existing shared apartments - this is the only right way!

A large fear sheet spans care: the law may promote disprofessionalization. "Of course, support for caring relatives are welcome," says Meurer, "but only if they go hand in hand with the protection of professional care." Otherwise, relatives threaten to become the involuntary rescuers of a stubborn care policy - and that cannot be the way!

The clock ticks and the tension increases - the hearing for the draft speaker is imminent! Will the law be a turn for care or will it become stumbling giants in the supply landscape? It remains to be seen which course the Federal Government is taking and whether it can counter the apocalyptic sign of the nursing crisis!
