You don’t have to carry everything alone
Caring for a relative is often a round-the-clock responsibility. It quickly raises the question: do you really have to manage everything on your own?
Many tasks can be shared or delegated, such as shopping, cleaning or accompanying someone to medical appointments. Even if it may take some getting used to at first, the relief is often noticeable very quickly. Accepting support helps you regain time and energy. This can then be used intentionally for your own well-being, for rest and to remain sustainable and effective in your working life.
Our home relief service supports you in everyday life, exactly where help is needed. Tasks are coordinated individually with you and tailored to your personal situation and the needs of your family.
The right support for your everyday life
Short-term support – Emergency relief pool
In urgent situations, we quickly and efficiently arrange a suitable home assistant from our emergency relief pool. This ensures you receive support when help is needed at short notice.
Long-term support – Individual placement
If ongoing support is required, our care consultants guide you in finding the right home assistant. Each placement is carefully tailored to your needs. We support you throughout the entire process – from selection to organising the employment.
Thank you very much! This is very helpful. We are in contact with the caregiver and are very grateful that you facilitated this connection.
