Your private Spitex in Menzingen
Menzingen lies on the ridge between the Ägeri valley and the Sihl valley – with the villages of Finstersee and Edlibach and many farms spread far apart. Care at home here also means: someone has to make the journey. Spitex FloraVita does. We come to Menzingen and take care of nursing, support and the household in your home.
From our office in Cham we are in Menzingen in about 20 minutes. As a private Spitex we plan the visits with familiar carers and reliable times. Our nursing services are covered by health insurance under the KVG – basic insurance pays for basic and medical nursing care when prescribed by a doctor, exactly as with the public Spitex.
In Menzingen, Finstersee and Edlibach we support older people, patients after a hospital stay, people with dementia and people in palliative situations. We provide targeted relief for relatives, who are often busy on the farm or in the business themselves – by the hour or on a regular basis.

What does Spitex cost in Menzingen?
The cost of Spitex care in Menzingen 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 Menzingen.
- 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.
