German care grade calculator — from assessment points to Pflegegrad

Each module total is placed in a points band under SGB XI Annex 2 and given weighted points; of modules 2 and 3, only the higher one counts. From 12.5 total points you reach care grade 1, from 27 grade 2, from 47.5 grade 3, from 70 grade 4 and from 90 grade 5.

Sources and assumptions

Calculation assumptions

  • You enter the module totals of individual points as shown in the Medical Service's assessment report; the scoring of each criterion (Annex 1) is not re-checked.
  • A special needs constellation, which can lead to grade 5 even below 90 points (SGB XI s. 15(4)), is not assessed.
  • For children, the individual points are set by comparison with children developing normally for their age (s. 15(6)); the calculator takes those totals as given.
