People with a high need for presence at home
Organise live-in support fairly
Presence at home needs protection, cover and an honest full-cost comparison.
A support worker living in the household is not a 24-hour employee. Tasks, work and rest, private space, nights, cover and professional care are planned separately.
- Do not confuse working time and presence time
- Protect private space, rest and privacy
- Fully include cover, illness and employer costs

The situation matters—not a rigid category.
Relatives looking for a durable arrangement
Households comparing direct employment with an agency model

Clear scope, clear responsibility and clear boundaries.
Suitability check
Tasks, intensity, nights, care needs, accommodation and risks are clarified before choosing a model.
Employment model

Rota and cover plan
Work, rest, on-call time, time off, holidays and reliable relief cover are planned.
Interface with care
Spitex and care professionals remain responsible for medical and KLV tasks.
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.
- Live-in does not mean working around the clock.
- Board and lodging do not replace statutory pay and insurance.
- One support worker is often insufficient where medical needs are high.
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.
Gross wage
The agreed wage is only part of the full cost and must not be confused with a 24-hour flat rate.
Employer and system costs
Social insurance, continued pay, administration, coordination and quality remain separate.
Cover and absence
Holidays, days off, illness, night cover and short-notice replacement need their own budget.
