Foundation Orbetan - Organization for caring relatives

Most chronically ill or seriously ill people in palliative situations want to be cared for at home in their familiar surroundings. Some of the care and support required for this can be provided by Spitex, but the majority is provided by the relatives themselves. This involves long periods of presence - often around the clock. Their own needs are increasingly put on the back burner, to the point of exhaustion. There are times when everything becomes too much. The task exceeds their strength. Then there is neither rest nor sleep.

This is why the Orbetan Foundation supports people who care for and look after sick relatives in need of care in the last phase of their lives. As Night Spitex, it specializes in medical night watch and monitoring as well as palliative care and complex care situations.

Other services: Helpline, relatives group, bereavement counseling.

The Orbetan* Foundation is a non-commercial Spitex organization. Donations help to ensure the long-term operation of the foundation.
