Swiss Civil Code

¹ If a per­son lack­ing ca­pa­city of judge­ment is cared for in a res­id­en­tial or nurs­ing in­sti­tu­tion for a longer peri­od, a writ­ten care agree­ment must be drawn up to reg­u­late the ser­vices that the in­sti­tu­tion provides and the costs there­of.

² In de­term­in­ing the ser­vices provided by the in­sti­tu­tion, ac­count must be taken of the wishes of the per­son con­cerned as far as pos­sible.

³ Re­spons­ib­il­ity for rep­res­ent­ing the per­son lack­ing ca­pa­city of judge­ment in con­clud­ing, amend­ing or ter­min­at­ing the care agree­ment is gov­erned mu­tatis mutandis by the pro­vi­sions on rep­res­ent­a­tion re­lat­ing to med­ic­al pro­ced­ures.
