Who can request Spitex services

Our services are available to all residents of all ages in the municipalities of Elgg, Hagenbuch, Elsau, Schlatt and Wiesendangen who are dependent on help and care at home due to illness, accident, disability, physical impairment, mental illness, old-age infirmity, palliative care or maternity.

What is important to us

• People in need of care should be able to stay in their familiar surroundings for as long as possible. Or they can return from hospital or rehabilitation as soon as possible
• Clients should be able to maintain their independence and autonomy. We want to support them in this
• We want to relieve the burden on relatives, friends and neighbors of people in need of care and assistance so that they can cope with care and support and thus stay healthy themselves

Assessment and advice

You need our help - give us a call. A specialist will arrange an appointment with you and discuss the situation in your home. We define the services together and record them in writing on an order confirmation. The agreements made are binding and confidential.
