Relatives who regularly provide basic care
Care by relatives
Recognise care work without leaving relatives to cope alone.
Employment can protect care work more fairly. Pay alone is not enough: professional guidance, respite, insurance, cantonal admission and reliable cover all matter.
- Separate basic care and treatment care correctly
- Compare pay, social benefits and full costs
- Clarify professional support, training and respite

A DASTI AG serviceCare by relatives
Who is this solution for?
The situation matters—not a rigid category.
Families with a medical prescription and Spitex involvement
People receiving care who want continuity and a fair arrangement
What the service includes
Clear scope, clear responsibility and clear boundaries.
Eligibility and provider check
Canton, prescription, eligible activities, admission and current service area are checked.
Pay and contract comparison
Base wage, supplements, holiday share, social benefits, course costs and termination remain separate.
Professional safety
Assessment, care plan, visits, instruction, documentation and escalation are made visible.
Respite plan
Cover for illness, holidays, overload or increasing needs is clarified in advance.
How we work
From initial guidance to a workable solution.
01 · Clarify the situation
We organise goals, daily life, region, times, existing support and the responsibility you want.
02 · Check eligibility and fit
Service, funding, qualification, authorisation and cantonal differences are checked separately.
03 · Compare solution and cost
Own and partner services, full costs, funding and possible gaps are made visible.
04 · Secure implementation
Contract, responsibility, scheduling, cover for absences, evidence and review are agreed.
Important boundaries
Guidance does not replace an official or professional decision.
- Health insurance and residual funding are not a direct wage payment.
- Treatment care requires the relevant professional qualification.
- Employment does not replace respite or protection against overload.
Costs and funding
Rate, wage, full cost and funding remain separate.
Only a formal decision, funding approval, employment contract and written quote are binding. Examples are checked before engagement for canton, service type and current status.
KLV basic care
Insurer contribution and cantonal residual funding pass through an admitted Spitex and are not the same as the relative’s wage.
Patient contribution
Cantonal rules and possible contributions are checked before the contract.
Full model costs
Professional leadership, administration, insurance, cover and quality must be funded in addition to gross pay.
