What this service does for you
The mobile Palliative Care Team visits people with a progressive severe illness at home – including in nursing homes. It is run jointly by the Palliative Center of the Bethesda Spital (doctors) and SPITEX BASEL (specialized nurses). The team clarifies symptoms, manages pain, offers psychosocial support, accompanies relatives, and coordinates with family doctors, Spitex, and nursing homes. Important for families: It is available 24 hours a day, which often helps to handle night-time crises without a hospital admission. The referral is made through the hospital's referral portal.
