Legal Counseling and Care Services
for the Elderly in Zurich
So you can stay young –
Rechtsatelier® Zurich offers seniors and their families an interdisciplinary range of services combining personal care and legal advice. Our team of caregivers and lawyers supports you in your daily life, accompanies you to appointments, helps with personal care, organizes social activities, and works closely with medical services such as Spitex and family doctors. At the same time, we advise you on legal matters, insurance, legal representation, and estate planning.
Our services are designed for seniors who want to make their daily lives easier, as well as for family members seeking support for their loved ones. Our goal is to lighten your load, build trust, and work together to find solutions that fit your life situation.
Personalized Care – Treating People with Respect
Our senior care services in Zurich are designed to support the elderly in various life situations in their daily lives and provide them with a sense of security. We help structure daily routines, encourage mental and physical activities, and ensure that seniors can live independently and self-determinedly for as long as possible. In our services, we place great emphasis on respectful treatment and personalized care.
Support with Household Management
We help seniors with the tasks of daily life. This includes household assistance for seniors, shopping, cooking, laundry, and house cleaning. We also provide support with personal care and ensure that this is carried out in a respectful and empathetic manner.
Companionship in Daily Life
Our practical assistance with daily life places great emphasis on social interaction and shared activities. Our professionals accompany you on walks, organize outings, and prepare meals together. Board games or joint museum visits help combat loneliness and contribute to seniors staying active and maintaining their zest for life.
Accompaniment to External Appointments
The elderly often feel more secure when accompanied to important appointments. We drive you to external appointments and assist you during doctor’s visits, trips to government offices, or even to the hairdresser. This daily support for seniors in Zurich allows you to attend all your appointments in the local area and beyond, even with limited mobility.
Promoting Fitness and Mobility
We promote mobility and mental activity so that seniors can live independently and self-determinedly for as long as possible. Physical exercises, speech and memory games, as well as short training sessions for physical and mental health are part of our services.
Collaboration with Medical Services
For medical care and nursing, we work closely with home health care services (Spitex) and family doctors. This collaboration ensures that care and medical treatment go hand in hand and that seniors receive comprehensive support.
Care in the Greater Zurich Area
Our care services are subject to our availability. Generally, we provide care and support to seniors in the greater Zurich area.
Head of Care Services: Daria Kalisz
Daria Kalisz heads the Care Department and brings her many years of experience working with seniors to the role. For many years, she has supported people with diverse needs, including those with dementia or multiple sclerosis. As a certified Swiss Red Cross caregiver (SRK), she possesses in-depth knowledge of nursing and care and combines this with a high degree of empathy and patience. Her approach is characterized by respect and the goal of enabling the elderly to live as independently as possible.
For seniors, this means that they not only receive practical support but also know they have a reliable companion by their side who takes their individual needs seriously.
Clear Legal Advice – Reassuring Solutions
In addition to care services, the Rechtsatelier® offers comprehensive counseling for the elderly. Many seniors and their relatives face legal and organizational issues that require clarity and certainty. Our legal counseling for the elderly provides guidance and protects against risks.
Legal Issues and Insurance
We advise seniors on everyday legal matters and assist with insurance issues, such as social security or health insurance. In this way, we foster understanding and security in daily life and protect their rights.
Contact with Government Agencies and Offices
Dealing with government agencies, public offices, and third parties can be stressful. We take care of these tasks and ensure that your matters are handled reliably and clearly.
Bookkeeping and Tax Returns
Many seniors appreciate help with bookkeeping or filing tax returns. We help organize their finances and ensure deadlines are met.
Mail Handling and Document Management
We handle mail processing and ensure structured document management. This way, seniors can keep track of important documents at all times.
Contract Management
Contracts are often complex. We review and manage contracts and important documents to ensure that seniors are legally protected and do not face any disadvantages.
Protection against Scammers and Disputes
Protection against fraudsters is particularly important in old age. We advise and support seniors in conflicts and ensure they do not fall victim to unscrupulous offers.
Care Directive and Legal Representation Instructions
We assist seniors and their families in drafting legal representation instructions and care directives. These documents are crucial for ensuring that one’s wishes are honored in old age.
Estate Planning and Asset Protection
We advise seniors and their families on estate planning, drafting a will, and asset protection. This allows seniors to ensure that their estate is properly organized and that their financial affairs align with their wishes.
