Psychiatriespitex Zurich

It is the basic right of every person to receive supportive assistance in difficult life situations. Supportive and counselling institutions must be accepted and maintained.

Our psychiatric Spitex considers itself to be an institution in this respect and sees its generally acknowledged core tasks as supporting and accompanying people of all ages who are in need. The problems can be extremely varied and range from more harmless difficulties in organising their day to serious mental illness.

Psychiatric care is generally provided in the home environment and is intended to help avoid or shorten hospitalisation. Assistance is provided exclusively by specially trained psychiatric nursing staff on the basis of medical treatment plans.

We serve a variety of
interdisciplinary support services.

We always endeavour to treat psychological and social problems in such a way that our clients can manage their lives independently despite their limitations.

We invite you to a free initial consultation!

In a free initial consultation, we invite you and/or your relatives to discuss with us how the (mobile) care can be organised in your case. We emphasise self-determination, resources and personal options.

We are also happy to conduct our initial consultation directly in the clinic before the planned discharge to ensure a ‘seamless’ transition home. We mainly care for clients in the Zürich area, but you are of course welcome to contact us from outside Zürich.

Cost coverage

All psychiatric Spitex services are covered by health insurance and are covered by the basic insurance and financed by the municipality of residence.
