ABOUT ME:
I am a self-employed registered nurse offering home care services, with many years of experience in the Upper Engadine. I am recognized by the Swiss government and the Canton of Graubünden and am authorized to bill my services directly to health insurance providers and/or private clients.
I have been working in the Upper Engadine for 5 years and care for numerous people in need of assistance, including both local residents and tourists staying in hotels or their second homes.
I worked for many years at public Spitex services, also holding organizational and managerial roles.
Mission
Through my expertise and professionalism, my mission is to provide in-home care to my clients, enabling them to live in their own homes with the highest possible quality of life, thereby making a significant contribution to preventing unnecessary hospitalizations.
What is a specialist nurse working on a self-employed basis?
They are a skilled and highly specialised professional, offering an alternative to Spitex services for the care and support of sick, vulnerable and dependent people in their own homes, working in collaboration with other professionals
What sets a freelance specialist nurse apart?
A qualified and specialised professional
With many years’ experience in the home care sector, they provide care for their clients directly in their own homes and act as the main point of contact for all aspects of their care.
A single point of contact
The freelance specialist nurse acts as the sole point of contact for the family, the doctor and private carers; this helps to avoid constant changes in staff and inconsistencies in care.
Funding
The costs of the services provided by the self-employed specialist nurse are funded proportionally by the local authorities, the canton, the health insurance scheme and the patients, in accordance with the Health Insurance Act and/or privately.

Customer reviews
Die aufmerksame, professionelle und fürsorgliche Betreuung, die meine betagten Eltern von Frau Martelli und ihrem Team erhielten, ermöglichte es ihnen, weiterhin in ihrem eigenen Zuhause zu leben und einen Umzug ins Altersheim zu vermeiden. Frau Martelli hatte für jedes Problem eine Lösung parat – sie war ein Engel, unser Engel. Danke.
