What this service does for you

The Canton of Vaud explains the different types of homes here – EMS for elderly people who need care, EPSM for psychosocial needs, and non-medical residential homes. This page does not have a directly filterable database, but it is the official starting point to ask the cantonal administration for a suitable home for a younger or older person after a stroke. The fastest way is by telephone during office hours.
