The article points out a serious deficiency in the social security system, i.e., that the old and infirm can only seldon obtain institutional care without calling on social assistance. It discusses possible solution of including the attendance allowances into the scope of social security benefits. The solutions are formulated in the amendment of the Association of German Cities and Towns (Deutscher Städtetag) to the insurance regulations of the earlier German Reich (Reichsversicherungsordnung). It is proposed that the Länder and communities as well as, to a small extent the Federal Government, assume the responsibility for investments, whereas the legal sickness insurance funds cover the costs for medical treatment and nursing and the patient pays an estimated rent value and the "hotel services".
该文章指出了社会保障体系中的一个严重缺陷，即年老体弱之人若不寻求社会援助，几乎无法获得机构照料。文章讨论了将护理津贴纳入社会保障福利范围的可能解决方案。这些解决方案是德国城市和城镇协会（Deutscher Städtetag）对早期德意志帝国保险法规（Reichsversicherungsordnung）的修订案中提出的。建议由各州和社区以及在一定程度上由联邦政府承担投资责任，而法定医疗保险基金支付医疗和护理费用，患者支付估计的租金价值及“酒店服务”费用。
