What this service does for you
If you already receive a helplessness allowance and want to stay living at home, you can use the assistance allowance to employ and pay your own carers, instead of having to move into a care home. For a family caring for a person severely affected by a stroke at home who does not want to get completely exhausted, this allowance can make home care financially affordable. You must apply through the cantonal IV office. Because backpayments are not possible, it is wise to clarify your options early.
