Since the mid-1990s, supervised shared-housing arrangements (SHA; assisted living facilities) have developed as a specific type of small-scale living facility for elderly care-dependent persons with dementia in Germany, offering services different than those in residential care. Neither a uniform and binding definition of SHA nor reliable estimates concerning numbers currently exist. Since January 2013, SHA have been promoted nationwide in Germany by law.
In a cross-sectional study funded by the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds numbers as well as legal and financial frameworks of SHA in Germany were surveyed.
As of February 2013, almost all German "Bundesländer" (federal states) have created special legal regulations for supervised SHA. The results of the present study show at least 1,420 SHA with 10,590 care places for adults in Germany. The regional distribution differs greatly.
Supervised SHA are increasingly an established care offer among the various long-term care offers in Germany. Different care and support offers help ensure individualized and high quality care for elderly care-dependent persons with dementia.
自20世纪90年代中期以来，德国出现了一种受监管的共享住房安排（SHA；辅助生活设施），作为一种专门为患有痴呆症的老年护理依赖者提供的小规模生活设施，其提供的服务与寄宿护理不同。目前，SHA既没有统一且具有约束力的定义，也没有关于其数量的可靠估计。自2013年1月起，SHA在德国全国范围内依法得到推广。
在一项由全国法定医疗保险基金协会资助的横断面研究中，对德国SHA的数量以及法律和财务框架进行了调查。
截至2013年2月，德国几乎所有的联邦州都针对受监管的SHA制定了特殊法律法规。本研究结果显示，德国至少有1420个SHA，为成年人提供了10590个护理床位。地区分布差异很大。
在德国各种长期护理服务中，受监管的SHA越来越成为一种既定的护理服务形式。不同的护理和支持服务有助于确保为患有痴呆症的老年护理依赖者提供个性化和高质量的护理。
