Your day.
Your way.
By your side.

Living life on your own terms is personal. Our support is too. We assist people who need support through Germany’s Personal Budget scheme, helping with everyday life and the things that matter to them. Whether you already have a Personal Budget or are planning to apply, we would be happy to hear from you. We can also help with the application.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this support for?

Our services are for people who need assistance with living independently and taking part in community life. Family members and legal representatives are also welcome to contact us. We will discuss whether our support is right for your needs.

How is the assistance funded?

Assistance can be funded through an approved Personal Budget. The services and costs covered depend on the decision of the responsible funding body. For the assistance we offer in Bavaria, this is usually the regional authority (Bezirk) responsible for where you live. We are happy to discuss the arrangements with you.

What is Germany’s Personal Budget?

Germany’s Personal Budget scheme (Persönliches Budget) lets you organise and pay for approved participation support services yourself. It gives you more say in who supports you, when and how. The responsible funding body will determine whether funding is available and which support it can cover. For the assistance we offer in Bavaria, this is usually the regional authority (Bezirk) responsible for where you live.
