About ALM 24 h Pflegedienst e.U.

ALM 24 h Pflegedienst arranges 24-hour care for people who want to stay at home despite needing care. The office in the Schwartzstraße in Baden is run by owner Laura-Mihaiela Almajan, who personally accompanies families from the first consultation to ongoing care.

How the placement works

First the owner discusses at an appointment how much care is needed. On the first day of care she comes by with the carer and introduces her, and after a few days there is a first feedback meeting. According to the website, it usually takes 7 to 10 days until care starts. Placements are made in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland; carers usually change monthly.

What the carers take care of

• Household: cooking, shopping, cleaning, laundry, plants and pets
• Personal care: support in everyday life
• Accompaniment: to the doctor, the pharmacy, family and friends, plus company
• Medical tasks: for example medication, dressings or insulin, only on written medical instruction

The carers are EU citizens with an Austrian trade licence and SVS insurance.

Costs and funding

The website states a one-off placement fee of 650 euros, a monthly flat fee from 170 euros and daily rates for the carers from 75 euros depending on the care level. The office helps with funding applications; a subsidy is available from care level 3. If a carer drops out, the agency organises a replacement within three days at most.
