Abstract

In den letzten 20 Jahren sind die Pflegefallzahlen sowohl in der sozialen als auch in der privaten Pflegeversicherung kontinuierlich gestiegen. Dies mag zwar auch auf ein über die Zeit geändertes Antragsverhalten der Versicherten zurückzuführen sein, ein Großteil dieses Trends ist jedoch der zunehmenden Alterung der Bevölkerung zuzuschreiben. Allerdings hat das - aus pflegerischer Sicht sicher notwendige - Inkrafttreten der wichtigsten Regelungen des Zweiten Pflegestärkungsgesetzes (PSGII) noch einmal für einen zusätzlichen Anstieg der Pflegfallzahlen gesorgt: Lag der Zuwachs in der sozialen Pflegeversicherung in der Vergangenheit immer maximal im oberen fünfstelligen Bereich, sind allein hier zwischen 2016 und 2017 über 550.000 Pflegebedürftige hinzugekommen (Abbildung 1-1). Ein Großteil dieser Entwicklung lässt sich den veränderten Leistungsansprüchen zuschreiben, und hierbei vor allem der Ausweitung der Definition von Pflegebedürftigkeit (hierzu auch Rothgang/Müller, 2018, 24 ff.).
