In 2024, Saxony faced significant challenges in its nursing care sector, resulting in the closure of eight nursing homes, including notable facilities like Klinik Bavaria and Muldentalstift. A total of 12 care facilities in the region ceased operations due to financial distress.
Nationwide, 326 care facilities experienced closures or service restrictions, with 1,143 affected since early 2023. The primary issues stem from soaring operational costs, delayed payments from care funds, and insufficient investment from state governments. Consequently, the co-payment for nursing home placements surged by 15%, averaging €2,229.31 per month.
This crisis highlights the urgent need for systemic reforms to ensure sustainable healthcare services for the aging population.
