Advice & orientation after a stroke in the canton of Fribourg

4 support services in the canton of Fribourg. All with a phone number, many with a website.

After a stroke, the first question is often not "Which therapy?" but "Who helps me sort all this out?". That is exactly what advice services do: they clarify which benefits you are entitled to, who is responsible and what the next step is. At most services the advice is free.

In the hospital and in the rehabilitation clinic, the social service is the first point of contact. It organises the discharge, home care and the applications to disability insurance and the health insurer. After that, cantonal and non-profit services take over – Pro Infirmis, Pro Senectute, the Red Cross, FRAGILE Suisse as the organisation of people affected and their families. The social service of your municipality is there for you too.

Call first where the treatment took place. The social service knows the case and knows which service in the canton makes sense next.
