What this service does for you
If the hospital doctor decides after a stroke that a person can leave the hospital but is not yet ready to go home, they can order acute and transitional care. They must use a special form for this. The care lasts a maximum of 14 days and cannot be extended. The costs are shared by the municipality of residence (55%) and the health insurance (45%). The family only pays for room and board and the usual deductible. This short transition period can be very important to organize a Spitex solution or a place in a nursing home in peace, instead of having to go home in a hurry.
