After a stroke, where you live decides who is there for you: the home care service with a public mandate, the municipal social service and the cantonal offices for disability insurance and supplementary benefits are tied to Lugano. Then there are the clinics, therapy practices and counselling centres nearby. For those, distance counts, not the municipal boundary.
This page shows both: first the services responsible for you, then the nearest stroke units and rehabilitation clinics, then the eight topics with what is available nearby. For your exact address, also outside the centre, enter it in the search.
