Important notes
- The booklet is not a substitute for medical, therapeutic or legal advice. It contains no diagnosis and no treatment recommendation.
- The booklet is not a medical device.
- The pages on care give only a general orientation based on the statutes (German law), not legal advice. In individual cases, care advice services, the care insurance fund or advice centres can help. Conversation cards and tips are suggestions, not obligations.
- The texts were created with AI support and reviewed editorially. The illustrations are AI-generated and labelled as such in the booklet.
- The PDF sends nothing anywhere; your entries stay on your device or on paper.
- Sources checked (DMSG and others); the list is included with the booklet. As of: 23.10.2026
