Why are jobs for caregivers and caregivers of the elderly in Germany an occupation with a future? The reason, of course, is the widespread aging of Western Europe’s population and increasing life expectancy. It is a response to the changing family model, which is no longer multi-generational. Young people, upon reaching adulthood, usually do not live in a single household with their parents and grandparents, but leave for other cities or even countries. It then becomes difficult to organize adequate care for seniors.

How much does a caregiver in Germany earn?

This is one of the most important issues for those looking for a job as a caregiver/senior caregiver in Germany. The salary, however, depends on several factors: your qualifications (especially your German language skills), the scope of your duties, the health of your charge, the conditions at the place of assignment, the region, etc. However, you don’t have to go through the entire recruitment process to know your monthly salary. Job ads already include this information to make the terms of cooperation even more transparent. Offers usually start from 1500 to 1900 euros/month plus bonuses for holidays and days off.

Working as a caregiver/caregiver for the elderly comes with additional benefits. One of them is free accommodation at the place of assignment and/or food, which is provided by the senior or his family. The Bravecare agency also offers additional bonuses and loyalty programs to encourage cooperation and provide some form of thanks for commitment to the duties performed.

Responsibilities of a caregiver for the elderly

The scope of the caregiver’s/caregiver’s duties depends on the senior’s health and needs. In the case of fully independent persons, the assistance actually consists of accompanying in daily life, spending leisure time together (including activating activities), shopping or taking care of the apartment. On the other hand, when the senior is partially immobile, sick and/or infirm, comprehensive care is required, including: dressing, cooking, assistance in taking meals, personal hygiene, etc. All responsibilities are clearly defined in the contract signed with the agency and known before departure.

With age, there may be problems with movement caused by various types of medical conditions. Thus, caring for a senior in Germany may also involve activating the elderly person and providing assistance when walking, getting out of bed, etc. This is extremely important not only for physical health, but also for mental health and well-being.

German language for caregivers and caregivers of seniors in Germany

Many people turn down jobs in elderly care abroad due to a lack of foreign language skills. However, the communication barrier can be overcome. It is necessary to learn German to be able to communicate freely in the basic matters of daily life. This affects the comfort of the job, as well as increases attractiveness in the eyes of the employer. Bravecare agency helps polish the language skills of its employees. It offers a special e-learning platform for learning vocabulary, phrases and the most important grammar rules for home care.
