The Court Order: Care Insurance Cannot Ignore Air Conditioner Installation for Care Requirements
- Mandate Imposed: Nursing pool obligated to provide funding for air conditioning.
In a remarkable decision, the Social Court of Mainz has mandated that care insurance should cover the costs of installing air conditioning units for those who require care. This ruling was passed in a case where a care-dependent woman in Mainz requested financial assistance for an air conditioner installation, which was initially rejected by her care insurance on grounds of unprofitability.
The court's judgment favors the woman. According to the ruling, the installation of an air conditioner significantly simplifies care delivery, making home care a more enjoyable and less exhausting experience for care providers as well as the plaintiff.
Furthermore, the court highlighted that the installation of an air conditioner alleviates potential health risks for the woman and enhances her independence, as she is less reliant on caregiver support following a restful night's sleep in a climate-controlled environment.
Contrary to the insurance company's claims, the court argued that the installation does not equate to creating a lavish living standard. In light of ongoing climate changes, an air conditioner in the bedroom has become the prevailing living standard. The court emphasized that the responsibility for this essential aspect lies with the care insurance.
