Transparent cost structure: we ensure that the majority of income goes directly to family caregivers.

Fair remuneration: We pay family carers who have completed the SRC course for care assistants CHF 40 per hour for at least one hour of daily care.

Legal conformity: Our remuneration structures are in line with Swiss law, in particular the regulations on the care of impaired relatives.

Cooperation for the benefit of those affected

We are always open to cooperation with authorities, care homes and foundations in order to jointly develop solutions that benefit family caregivers the most. Our mission is to provide support in difficult life situations through our services and to ensure that care is fairly remunerated.

At SpitexCare, we see family care not just as a business, but as a valuable service that assists people in perhaps their most challenging phase of life. Our transparent and fair structure ensures that everyone involved receives the support and recognition they deserve.
