Social insurance (AHV/IV)

Pro Infirmis

Assistenzberatung Basel-Stadt (Assistenzbeitrag der IV, Anstellung persönlicher Assistenz)

Checked in August 2026

What this service does for you

If you want to live at home after a stroke and decide for yourself who helps you and when, you can apply for support from the IV assistance allowance and hire your own assistants. In Basel, Pro Infirmis checks whether you are entitled to this support. They then guide you through your role as an employer, helping with recruitment, employment contracts, payroll, and conflict resolution. Every three years, the IV covers up to 1,500 francs for consultation hours, which Pro Infirmis bills directly. The service is aimed at people with disabilities in general. A brain injury is explicitly not a reason for exclusion, even though it is not named directly on the website.
