How do I prepare the Review (Begutachtung)?

For the Review (Begutachtung), describe what you can do independently in everyday life and where help is needed. Concrete examples from ordinary and difficult days help more than memorized answers.

Describe an ordinary day.

Write down specific situations: What can you do alone, but does it need reminders, support or direct help? Also mention unstable and difficult days without exaggerating or downplaying them.

Organize documents that are already available.

Provide relevant existing reports, care information, and resources. You do not need to create new diagnoses or upload data to this website.

Talk about desires and boundaries.

Think together about what the person being cared for would like to say and who should support the conversation. Ask if something is unclear; the perspective of the person concerned counts.

Record open questions.

What should be made more understandable in the report? Where is support missing? Nursing advice can help you prepare the application and the Review (Begutachtung) organizationally.
