In view of the increasing number of home closings, which are interpreted as a sign of structural weaknesses in nursing care insurance, affected residents of VdK recommended to act quickly in the event of dismissals. Alternative accommodation options should be explored in acute emergencies, whereby a consultation with the nursing care fund or a consumer center can be helpful. However, there is no legal entitlement to care in a nursing home, which makes the situation more complicated for many affected people.
