easypflegebox The German care-box, finally explained.
How it works

From Pflegegrad to your first box. In three clear steps.

Here's the full journey — no German bureaucracy anxiety, no professional service required, no perfect German needed. We've built a dedicated page for each step in case you want to dive deeper.

  1. 01

    Secure a Pflegegrad

    Pflegegrad 1 already qualifies. You don't need one yourself — you can apply on behalf of a family member, and care provided by relatives counts in full.

What’s inside

Consumable care supplies – refilled every month.

You build the box yourself. These are the most common items.

  • Disposable gloves

    Nitrile or latex-free, multiple sizes.

  • Face masks

    For safe care at home.

  • Hand & surface disinfectant

    Hygiene without the hospital smell.

  • Bed protection pads

    Highly absorbent, save mattress and bedding.

  • Protective aprons

    For care tasks involving fluids.

  • Tongue depressors & hygiene bags

    Small helpers, big daily impact.
