Independent Nurse — Sierre District, Valais
A qualified nurse, specialised in mental health. I support you at home with general nursing care, mental health support or psychogeriatrics — with attentiveness and professionalism.
In an emergency: 144 (life-threatening) · 0800 012 210 (psychiatric emergency, EMIM Valais).
How it works
The typical course, from first contact to follow-up. The order may vary depending on your situation.
You, a relative or your doctor call me. We arrange an appointment at your home.
An assessment of your needs is carried out in every case, at home, within the first few days.
It is required for treatment care (injections, dressings, medication). It is not required for assessment, advice, coordination or basic care.
Together we set how often I visit, the goals and the expected duration. Your doctor receives the assessment and stays involved throughout the follow-up.
Care offering
Home nursing care reimbursed by Swiss basic health insurance (OPAS), with a medical prescription for treatment care. Comprehensive care, tailored to each situation.
As a qualified nurse, I provide the full range of everyday nursing care at home. Each case is individualised: I assess your needs, plan the visits with your doctor and adapt the care as your situation evolves. My approach combines technical rigour with a genuine human relationship — because home care is also a moment of listening.
My main area of specialisation. Going through a difficult period sometimes calls for tailored support, at home, in reassuring surroundings. I offer caring, structured nursing support for people facing mental health difficulties — whether a fragile moment, an established condition or a period of transition. My approach is firmly multidisciplinary: I work in a network with the doctors, associations and support organisations in the Sierre district, for coordinated care suited to your situation.
About
Holding a bachelor’s degree in nursing, I have devoted more than ten years to supporting people with mental health needs, in hospital and outpatient settings, in France and then in Valais — notably within a mobile psychiatry team visiting patients directly at home.
My experience covers mental health and psychogeriatrics, as well as support in crisis situations — fields where a relationship of trust and continuity of care play a central role on the path to well-being. I have complemented it with continuing education, notably in managing violence and aggression, emotional intelligence and pain management in psychiatry.
I now practise as an independent nurse in the Sierre district, with a human, structured and personalised approach.

Practical information
Home nursing care is reimbursed by Swiss mandatory health insurance (AOS) under the OPAS ordinance.
Nursing services are billed in accordance with the Swiss ordinance on health insurance benefits (OPAS, art. 7 and 7a). Treatment care requires a medical prescription; in all cases, an assessment of care needs is carried out. Insurers’ contributions cover assessment, advice, coordination, examinations, treatment and basic care.
Frequently asked questions
Here are answers to the most common questions about home nursing care.
You, a relative or your doctor contact me, and we arrange an appointment at your home. An assessment of your needs is carried out in every case, within the first few days. Treatment care (injections, dressings, administering medication) requires a medical prescription; assessment, advice, coordination and basic care do not. Together, we then define a personalised care plan: how often I visit, the goals and the expected duration. Your doctor receives the assessment and stays involved throughout the follow-up.
For treatment care (injections, dressings, administering medication), yes — a medical prescription is required. For assessment, advice and coordination, as well as for basic care, a prescription is not mandatory. In all cases, an assessment of needs is carried out and shared with your doctor.
Home nursing care is reimbursed by mandatory health insurance (AOS/LAMal) at standard OPAS rates. Your health insurer covers assessment, treatment and basic care. The usual deductible and 10% co-payment remain payable by you. Care is also covered by disability, accident and military insurance depending on the situation.
Mental health nursing care is for anyone going through a difficult period emotionally or psychologically: anxiety, depression, exhaustion, mood disorders or a life transition. The person’s condition must be stable enough for care at home. The aim is to support you in your own surroundings, alongside the follow-up with your doctor.
The CMS (Centre médico-social, the public home-care service) is a large public team. As an independent nurse, I offer more personalised follow-up: it is always the same person who visits, which builds a relationship of trust — something essential in mental health. Both approaches are reimbursed in the same way by basic health insurance.
My work is based on planned, regular visits. In a psychiatric emergency, contact the mobile intervention team (EMIM) of Valais on 0800 012 210 (free of charge). For life-threatening emergencies, call 144.
