Hospital social service after a stroke in Lugano

4 places for Hospital social service within 30 km of Lugano: responsible services first, then by distance, all with phone numbers.

Ferdinand Hodler, Aare canal near Thun, 1879

After a stroke, the hospital social service is the first place to turn for everything that is not medical: it organises the discharge, registers you for rehabilitation, arranges home care, obtains cost approvals and helps with the applications to disability insurance and the health insurer. The advice is free and open to relatives too.

Ask for the social service on the ward. It often gets in touch by itself once discharge is in sight. Rehabilitation clinics have a social service as well; it takes over once rehabilitation has begun. Bring the insurance card and, if they exist, the advance care documents.
