Caregiving Relatives - Relief and Support for Families
Caring for a family member is one of the most demanding tasks a person can undertake. Family caregivers perform great work daily – often to the limit of their own endurance. Znam Spitex supports you in mastering this important task without overburdening yourself.
Our offer for caregivers
Respite care – we provide care by the hour or by the day, so you have time for yourself. Consultation and instruction in care techniques. Coordination with doctors and insurance companies. Emotional support and conversations. Night service and weekend care. Help with organizing assistive devices.
Your Rights as a Family Caregiver
In Switzerland, around 600,000 people care for relatives at home. Since 2021, caregivers have been entitled to up to 14 weeks of care leave and care credits with social security (AHV). Znam Spitex will gladly advise you on your rights and financial support options, including attendance allowance, supplementary benefits, and assistance allowances.
Why relief is important
Thanks to our support, family caregivers can continue to pursue their careers, maintain social contacts, and preserve their own health. We flexibly adapt our services to your needs and your daily routine.
