BECAUSE YOUR COMMITMENT MATTERS, TOO
You give a great deal. And you may accept support.
Being there for someone you love is something special. We would like to make orientation easier, so that you can understand which financial and professional support may be right for you.
You are not alone with your questions
A care professional can assess needs, plan care and support you with care-related and administrative questions.
More confidence, step by step
You do not need to know everything already. Professional guidance and suitable training can help you feel more confident with everyday care. The support and requirements that fit your situation will be discussed with you personally.
Possible compensation depends on the recognised care services and on your personal situation. The published maximum is not a personal commitment.

What kind of support can count as care?
Every person and care situation is different. A qualified nursing professional can look at everyday needs with you and clarify which services may be recognised as basic care.
Which activities and what scope may be compensated are clarified individually and at an unhurried pace.

Support with eating and drinking
Help with mobilisation and positioning

Space for your questions. Clarity for your next step.
You don’t need to know everything today. Find out what this first step can offer and what will be clarified in a personal conversation.
A beginning without medical details
A short selection about your situation is enough for initial guidance. You do not need to share diagnoses or medical documents in the check.
A personal assessment, not a blanket promise
The responsible specialist service checks whether compensation is possible in your situation. This online offering does not itself provide care or decide your compensation.
You decide at your own pace
An enquiry does not commit you to a care contract. Before any future forwarding, you will know who receives your details and why. Nothing is sent to the care partner without your consent.
YOU MAY BE WONDERING …
Your questions are welcome here.
The published offer states up to CHF 40 gross per recognised hour of care. This is a maximum amount, not a commitment for every individual case. The actual compensation, scope and terms are discussed with you personally.
According to the published offer, no care qualification is needed to get started. A multi-day Swiss Red Cross (SRK) course must be completed within twelve months. You can clarify which requirements apply to you and how the course works in a personal conversation.
Certainly. You can select all 26 cantons in the check. So far, coverage is publicly evidenced for the city and canton of Zurich. For other regions, it is first checked whether suitable support is possible. This does not yet constitute a service commitment.
This help is valuable to relatives as well. For possible compensation, however, recognised basic care may be considered. Shopping, cooking, cleaning and general companionship are not automatically compensated as care.
With your consent, your enquiry is emailed to AngehörigenHERZ through FormSubmit. We can review your details and contact you. This is not an agreed callback, appointment or entitlement to payment; no automatic disclosure to a care provider takes place.
No, you may take your time to find your bearings. The check is neither an obligation nor a promise of compensation. Whether compensation is possible and the conditions it involves are only clarified later, personally and professionally.
You can also enquire if you care for a friend or another person close to you. A family relationship is not required to start this check. Whether payment is possible and which requirements apply will be assessed personally and professionally; the relationship alone does not establish eligibility.
IT MAY BECOME EASIER FOR YOU, TOO
Let us look at your possibilities together.
Sometimes a small first step is enough. Take a moment for yourself and discover what support may be right for you.
