Financial compensation for your care
At SwissCare Züri, we know how challenging and at the same time fulfilling caring for a loved one can be. That is why we ensure that your care is not only appreciated, but also fairly compensated.
Salary for care services
As a family caregiver, you receive up to CHF 43 per hour in compensation for your care services. We ensure that your commitment is not only recognised, but also financially rewarded.
Administrative support
We help you with all administrative tasks related to family caregiving. We support you free of charge in completing and submitting all necessary applications, such as for supplementary benefits, helplessness allowance or social insurance matters. We also help you with communication with authorities and insurers, so you can focus entirely on caring for your loved ones.
Why financial support matters

Our support for you
Our individual counselling by case managers is tailored entirely to your needs. Our experienced case managers stand by your side and give you valuable tips and tricks for everyday caregiving.
Professional guidance
A personal nursing professional from SwissCare Züri visits you regularly at home and shows you practical tips and techniques for everyday care on site — for example when lifting, positioning, administering medication or other care tasks. The goal is for you to provide care more safely, confidently and with noticeably more relief.
Emotional support
Your personal nursing professional supports you not only professionally, but also emotionally. They are there for you, listen and take time for your concerns, and look for solutions with you. Through this trusted support, we want to relieve you and contribute to a care situation at home that is as stress-free as possible.
Training & exchange
SwissCare Züri regularly offers you training sessions and courses in which you as a family caregiver can acquire valuable knowledge for everyday care and exchange experiences with other family caregivers.
Practice-oriented support
Our counselling is designed to offer you practical solutions for everyday life. We help you make caring for your loved ones safer, easier and more effective.
Individual relief services
When you need a break, we are here for you. When you need some time off or additional support, we are here for you.
Hourly care
When you need a short break or have appointments to keep, we step in flexibly.
Night watches
For a peaceful night — our caregivers take over night-time care so you can sleep restfully.
Weekend and holiday care
Make use of your free time while we look after your loved ones.
Short-term care
When you need relief for a few days, we offer you a temporary care solution that integrates seamlessly into your care routine.
Flexibly adapted to your needs
Our nursing professionals adapt flexibly to your needs so you can focus on what matters — whether to recharge or to have time for yourself.
Legal and financial support
Care often involves legal and financial questions as well. We give you access to experts who support you with topics such as living wills, powers of attorney or care financing.
Advice on living wills and powers of attorney
We help you create or adapt legal advance care documents such as living wills and powers of attorney. This ensures that your loved ones’ wishes are respected, even when they are no longer able to make decisions themselves.
Support with applying for care benefits and subsidies
Many family caregivers do not know which financial assistance they are entitled to. We advise you on how to make optimal use of care benefits, subsidies or support from health insurers and social insurance.
Professional handling of all formalities
We ensure that all applications and formalities are completed correctly and submitted on time. This way we make sure that you and your loved ones receive the benefits you are entitled to, without having to fight through bureaucracy.
