Spitex Care

AFG Spitex Pflege is an association of academically trained nursing professionals. We are committed to ensuring the best possible quality of life for people who are dependent on home care.

Professional care is based on the ethical principles of justice, care and autonomy and guarantees as much self-determination as possible until death. It is geared towards the physical, social, mental, emotional, cultural and spiritual needs of people living at home and their trusted relatives.

We work as freelance or employed nursing professionals in outpatient home care as well as in GP practices or in teaching, further education and research in home care.

Whoever provides care needs to know, especially in Spitex!

In this video, you can see how our professional association contributes to the continuous improvement of the quality of care and support in Spitex using the example of Stopp Sturz.
