Spitex Cham: Nursing and Care at Home
Spitex FloraVita is based in Cham. From Zugerstrasse 5 we provide nursing and support at home in every part of Cham: personal, covered by health insurance and available 365 days a year.
Your private Spitex in Cham
Cham is our home. Spitex FloraVita's office is at Zugerstrasse 5, just a few steps from Cham railway station and the Städtli. If you are looking for a private Spitex in Cham, our nurses can be with you in minutes – in the centre, in Niederwil, Lindencham, Hagendorn, Rumentikon, Enikon or Friesencham.
As a private Spitex in Cham we offer everything you would expect from a home care organisation: basic care, medical nursing care as prescribed by your doctor, specialised care for dementia or in palliative situations, and help with the household. Our nursing services are covered by health insurance under the Swiss Health Insurance Act (KVG) – you pay no more than you would with the public Spitex.
Many of our clients in Cham come to us after a stay at the Zug Cantonal Hospital in Baar or after rehabilitation. Others simply want to stay in their familiar home by Lake Zug or along the Lorze for as long as possible, despite age or illness. We make sure that this is possible safely – and we take pressure off family members at the same time.

What does Spitex cost in Cham?
The cost of Spitex care in Cham is governed by the Swiss Health Insurance Act (KVG) and is regulated in the same way for private and public Spitex organisations:
- Basic and medical nursing care: paid for by basic health insurance when prescribed by a doctor. Your deductible (Franchise) and co-payment apply.
- Patient contribution: By law, a maximum of 20 percent of the highest care contribution, i.e. no more than CHF 15.35 per day, may be charged to patients. The remaining costs are covered by the public sector. We clarify in the initial consultation how much of this applies in Cham.
- Housekeeping and companionship: are not KVG services and are billed privately. Some supplementary insurance plans contribute to the costs – we are happy to check this with you. The AHV/IV helplessness allowance can also be used for this.
Before we start, you receive a transparent cost estimate from us. Find out more on the page Consultation and assessment or talk to us directly.
