Care & help at home after a stroke in the canton of Geneva
17 support services in the canton of Geneva. All with a phone number, many with a website.
Continuing to live at home, even with limitations after the stroke – that is what home care (Spitex) is for: nursing, treatment care and household help, prescribed by a doctor and paid by the health insurer, the canton and the municipality. Home care organisations with a public service mandate must accept every person in their area; private home care companies are an additional choice.
Aids such as a walker, a wheelchair or grab rails, adaptations to the home, meal services and transport services make everyday life manageable. Disability insurance or old-age insurance pays for much of it; Pro Senectute, the Red Cross and the municipalities offer much of it.
Family carers need relief themselves. Respite services, day centres and holiday beds give back a few hours or days – ask for them before your strength runs out.
