What this service does for you

Directly after leaving the hospital, there is a service throughout Switzerland that hardly anyone knows about: acute and transitional care, in Italian cure acute e di transizione. It is prescribed by a doctor, lasts a maximum of two weeks and is fully funded by mandatory health insurance and the canton, minus the deductible and co-payment. For families in Ticino who suddenly have to organize how to manage at home after a stroke, this is often the only break between the hospital and their own home. Important: You must actively ask for it before you leave the hospital.
