A change of carer is when someone close to you needs support from another carer.
How do you deal with this and how do your responsibilities change?

Can't continue to care for your mum? Then you need to arrange a replacement main carer. This situation can also be reversed. Someone else has been looking after your mum until now. Now you want to take over full-time. Then she will need to do the following:

What is the reason for the change of carer - do you only need a temporary change, i.e. you remain the so-called main carer? Or will you need to make the change permanent?

You will need to notify the change of carer - this involves completing a "Notification of Carer" form preferably within 8 days of the change and submitting it to the Jobcentre Plus office.

Check if you are entitled to social security and health insurance - you are entitled to social security and health insurance if your mother is approved for tier II, III or IV.

The care counts towards the required years of insurance for the pension - after you have finished caring for your mother, make sure to ask the Labour Office for a certificate of the time of care and forward it to the Czech Social Security Administration.

Even if you become the main carer, you can arrange social services for the time you are at work or school, for example. They will be with your mother while you are away.

The applicant for this change is your mother. Therefore, consider sensitively her ability to make decisions on official matters. If you recognize that she has even a mild cognitive deficit, use various forms of support and guardianship.

Answers to the most common questions

Anyone dealing with the care of a loved one can contact us. We accompany individuals, couples and entire families. Our approach is individual, so it depends on the specific situation and needs of the client.

You can find us in Prague. We provide our services in the whole territory of the Capital City of Prague and its surroundings. We can come to your home, place of residence or you can come to our premises. We are not opposed to any other place of your choice. And if it is not possible to meet in person, we will establish cooperation over the phone and look for ways to make arrangements. We also work online.

The initial telephone interview is free of charge. Subsequently, the client pays based on the provided service either individual consultations - 900 CZK/hour or in case of longer-term cooperation we agree on the so-called package price. This is tailored to the client's needs.

You can contact us via the web contact form and we will call you back to arrange an initial consultation. Together we will map out your needs and offer possible scenarios for further cooperation and outline available sources of assistance. Consultations take place in person at our premises, at your home, at work or by phone or online.

We enter into cooperation after a common agreement and with precisely specified services. We offer you accompaniment in the care of your loved one for as long as it is needed. Our care can be long term and flexible depending on what is happening and what you need. We are available for times when care is purely up to you, but we also look for formal support options. Should your loved one pass away, we are ready and qualified to accompany you through the grieving period as well. This too makes sense to us.
