What this service does for you

Trained Red Cross volunteers come to your home for a few hours or a whole day. They take care of your relative so that you can take a break. The cost ranges from a short visit for 20 francs to a full day of care for 70 francs. This service is an easy first step for relatives who care for someone at home after a stroke and feel increasingly exhausted. It works without having to wait for a place in a nursing home. The first conversation is free of charge. However, there is no guarantee that volunteers are available.
