The state home law in Baden-Württemberg will be replaced by the law for supportive forms of living, participation and care (WTPG) .
At the end of July 2012, the state government of Baden-Württemberg approved the cornerstones of a new home law. The comprehensive realignment is already expressed in the name of the law. Instead of the Home Law, it will in future be called "Law for Supportive Housing, Participation and Care (Housing, Participation and Care Act)". In future, “supportive forms of living” will be placed under protection under domestic law. Supportive forms of living are firstly “inpatient facilities” (homes) for older people, adults in need of care and adults with disabilities (as before) and secondly (new) “outpatiently assisted living communities”, including shared apartments for people with disabilities.
Baden-Württemberg's Minister of Social Affairs, Katrin Altpeter , presented the law for supportive housing, participation and care to the state parliament on May 14, 2014. The law was passed in the second reading. When it comes into force, the WTPG replaces the State Home Law in Baden-Württemberg. The WTPG came into force on May 31, 2014.
In particular, the regulations on assisted living have been formulated more precisely. Following the nationwide trend, the law tries to differentiate based on the structural dependency of residents on one provider. In addition to the classic inpatient facilities for people with support and care needs as well as people with disabilities, the newly regulated scope of application now basically also includes residential communities with outpatient care. This does not apply to flat-sharing communities with fewer than 12 people who are completely responsible for them, as well as hospitals, day and night care facilities, short-term facilities and medical and occupational rehabilitation services (Section 2, Paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 8).
In Section 2 (6), the law also makes exceptions to the use of assisted living for people of legal age with disabilities or mental illnesses if, in addition to the provision of living space, the support and care services can be freely selected, these do not constitute comprehensive care and they are not contractual with the provision of living space are connected. This also applies to forms of assisted living if, in order to support independence and personal responsibility, in addition to providing housing and basic services, the residents are only additionally obliged to make use of care services to a lesser extent and to combine these services with the basic services to implement the conceptual Target is required.
Ordinances under this law
The law for supportive forms of living, participation and care has developed from the State Home Law (Baden-Württemberg) , which in turn is based on the Home Law. The Home Act also included corresponding ordinances, such as the Home Staff Ordinance, the Minimum Building Ordinance and the Home Participation Ordinance. When the federalism reform came into force in 2006, some of the ordinances were not occupied for a long time.
In Baden-Württemberg there is the State Home Construction Ordinance and the Ordinance of the Ministry of Social Affairs on personnel requirements for inpatient facilities, which came into force on February 1, 2016.
