That is regulated healthcare. We do none of it.

Take part · Bern–Belp region
This page is for people and organisations who would like to contribute — as an employee, as a partner, or because they already care for someone at home and do not know that this work can be paid.
We are not a medical service. Treatment is given by doctors and by Spitex (the Swiss home-care service) — we coordinate, explain and ease the load.
First way
The work is organised into twelve core functions. Ten of them we are building up over the coming months — from head of care through respite and nutrition to quality, finance and technology. Each role is posted with its task, and each has its own application button.
Bern and Belp, part-time or full-time, start by arrangement. A CV is enough; a sentence on why this work of all work helps more.
Second way
Spitex organisations (Spitex is the Swiss home-care service), medical practices, hospitals, municipalities and transport services: we are not looking for contracts, but for clean handovers. We do not nurse and we do not drive — we accompany, coordinate and explain. That complements what you do instead of competing with it.
If you would like to know what a collaboration would look like in practice, write to us. A conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Third way
Then you have long been working with us on the same cause — just without employment and without a job description. Caring for relatives is work, and work is paid. Very few people know that.
How many hours are recognised and how employment works depends on the care situation. Ask about it in the first conversation — even if you first call about something else entirely.
Who does what
So that the division of tasks is clear from the start — it is the reason why working with us takes nothing away from anyone.
That is regulated healthcare. We do none of it.
They have done this for decades and do it better than any newcomer could.
The part in between: going along, noting down what was said, and making sure the next step does not get lost.
For organisations
We do not treat and we do not nurse. We work where families run out of strength — between hospital discharge and the first home-care visit, between a decree and understanding it, between all the responsibilities. That is not competition with your work; it is relief at its edge.
Stays with you
Treatment, nursing, prescription, assessment, every professional and every clinical decision. We take none of it. Regulated care is delivered by authorised providers in their own systems — that is not modesty, it is the boundary we are built on.
We take on
The in-between: understanding, sorting, phoning, following up, staying with it. Who applies for supplementary benefits, who for the helplessness allowance, what the cost-approval request is missing, and who calls the insurer back. This work is in nobody's job description — and it is what makes family carers give up.
Stays with the family
The decision. We tell nobody what they ought to want — not about a care level, not about moving into a home, not at the end. We make sure the family understands what it is deciding about, and then it steps back into the centre, where it belongs.
Who it is for, what a beginning looks like, what we do not promise — and the dossier as a PDF.
Next step
Then simply write to us and tell us what you would like to contribute. We will sort it out together — even if it turns out in the end that it is not the right fit just now.
