Since the attack in the cantonal council chamber in Zug in 2001, I have been paraplegic.

My life partner remained loyal to me despite my disability, even though this situation completely turned his life upside down as well. Thanks to him, I was and am able to live at home. In the morning, Spitex also provides additional assistance.

We both enjoyed traveling, and he has continued to make this possible for me. Since my health has deteriorated, I can no longer travel. However, I always encourage him to pursue his travel dreams nonetheless.

Until recently, I was able to “hold the fort” at home with additional help from Spitex. Currently, however, I must lie down due to a pressure sore. Therefore, I needed a place where I would receive nursing care and household support (meals, laundry).

Two people made me aware of “Rückenwind plus” in Bad Zurzach. This institution fulfills all my needs. It is worth its weight in gold. I have already been able to reserve a place again for the time of my life partner’s next trip in the new year.

My life partner and I have been a couple for over thirty years. Since the attack in the cantonal council chamber in Zug in 2001, she has been paraplegic.

This event turned not only her life but also mine upside down. However, we found a common path.

Because I very much enjoy traveling to the Sahara, it is important that my life partner gets along well during this time. Since she currently must lie down due to a pressure sore, she needed a new solution. A stay at the “Rückenwind plus” institution in Bad Zurzach proved to be ideal: The infrastructure is good, the staff is competent and friendly, and the atmosphere is familial. This allows me to plan my next trip with peace of mind, as these breaks are important for me and give me strength.
