Who it is for

Who is the everyday help in Siegen for?

For people who want to stay in their own home and need support in everyday life to do so, and for relatives who accompany them. It often begins with a turning point: an illness, a stay in hospital or the moment when shopping and cleaning become too much.

If you are looking for help yourself

You decide what we help with. Perhaps all you need is a home help in Siegen who takes over the cleaning and laundry so that you keep the energy for a walk or a visit to friends. Perhaps you would like company to the doctor and a quiet chat afterwards. You get to know your care assistant beforehand, and if the chemistry is not right, we find a suitable alternative.

If you are a relative and would like some relief

You are looking after your mother or father and notice that work, your own family and caring hardly fit together any more. We take on fixed tasks in the household and give time in company. That gives you room to breathe, and your relatives have a familiar person to turn to.

After a stay in hospital

After discharge from hospital, a lot is often left undone at home, and your strength is not yet enough for everything. In urgent cases a home help in Siegen usually comes to you within 48 hours. How to prepare for discharge and who bears which costs is explained in the guide Home help after hospital.

It's that simple

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

Does the long-term care insurance fund (Pflegekasse) cover the costs?

Many services – such as home help and care – can be billed via the long-term care insurance fund, from care level 1 (Pflegegrad) via the relief amount (Entlastungsbetrag, § 45a and § 45b SGB XI). We bill all payers (Kostenträger) directly – you do not have to pay anything in advance, and there is no paperwork for you. Unused amounts can also be carried over to the following month. From care level 2, further benefits are available, which we are happy to discuss with you in person. A care level is not a requirement with us, however: if you have no care level, we help you just the same, in that case as a self-payer.

How quickly can help start?

Whether after a discharge from hospital or when support is needed at short notice – in urgent cases we can usually help within 48 hours. Just get in touch, and we will find a solution together.

Are you insured and vetted?

Of course. Professional liability insurance, an enhanced police clearance certificate (erweitertes Führungszeugnis), regular training. As a care and relief service we are recognised under § 45a SGB XI. On request, we will show you all the documents at the initial consultation.

What makes you different from a nursing service (Pflegedienst)?

We do not provide medical nursing care – no injections, no wound care. What we do have is time. An hour with us is an hour of attention, not an appointment on a 15-minute schedule. We complement the nursing service, we do not replace it.

Can we choose our everyday support worker (Alltagsbegleiter/in)?

So that you feel at ease, you meet your everyday support worker beforehand. Wherever possible, the same person always comes to you, so that trust can grow. If the chemistry is not right, we are happy to arrange a suitable alternative.

In which districts of Siegen do you work?

In the city centre, in Kaan-Marienborn, Bürbach, Trupbach, Weidenau, Geisweid, Eiserfeld and Niederschelden. Outside Siegen we help in Kreuztal, Netphen, Hilchenbach and Freudenberg. Our service area in the Siegerland page lists all places.
