WHY YOU NEED SUPPLEMENTARY CARE:
The benefits of statutory long-term care insurance and the actual costs of long-term care are often disproportionate.

Here, the private supplementary care insurance covers the additional costs up to the agreed maximum daily rate and at the same time offers lifelong insurance protection. With private supplementary care insurance, you close your supply gap and protect yourself and your family from the high costs of needing care.
