Contact with family and loved ones in the district of Saint-Maurice

DomusHelp helps organize practical support to prepare, facilitate or clarify contact with family, loved ones or trusted people at home in the district of Saint-Maurice and French-speaking Valais. This subcategory concerns simple, non-medical, non-legal, non-psychological, non-decision-making, non-intrusive, non-conflictual and non-financial help related to everyday exchanges: phone call, short message, SMS, simple email, video call, search for an already known number, preparation of a useful contact list, checking a communication method, help formulating a practical request, passing sober information to an authorized person, preparing contact with a family caregiver, updating an emergency contact, organizing a non-conflictual family exchange or clarifying who can be reached for a practical question. The help may consist of preparing a phone, tablet or computer, checking that the charger, network, sound, screen, camera or keyboard work, finding an already identified contact, checking that a number really belongs to the intended person, helping the person say what they wish to pass on, preparing a short message without deciding in their place, reading a message back with them, helping distinguish ordinary information from sensitive data, checking to whom the information may be sent, noting whether a call was attempted or successful, preparing a callback, organizing a simple video exchange, helping place the phone comfortably, checking that the person can stop the exchange, preparing a short list of practical questions, or referring to a social service, a CMS or SMZ, a healthcare professional, a competent authority, a legal representative, a curatorship, a qualified mediator, an authorized relative or an emergency service when the situation goes beyond simple practical contact. The intervention must always respect the person’s will, pace, fatigue, confidentiality, dignity, privacy of the home, chosen relationships, refusals of contact, modesty, communication habits, personal data, private documents, phone numbers, addresses, messages, photos, health data, financial information, digital access, loved ones present, possible family tensions and the person’s clear, free, current and understood consent, without forcing contact, without imposing reconciliation, without provoking a meeting, without speaking in place of the person, without deciding who should be contacted, without cutting off or controlling their communications, without transmitting sensitive information without explicit agreement, without exposing the person’s address, health, financial situation, private documents, vulnerabilities, family disagreements or intimate information, without keeping passwords, PIN codes, email access, messaging access, social network access, e-banking access, administrative identifiers or unnecessary confidential data, without recording a call, without taking a screenshot, without photographing or filming a person without clear agreement, without publishing an image, without accessing private accounts without an explicit framework, without sending sensitive documents through unsafe channels, without signing, validating, paying, transferring money or accepting a commitment on behalf of the person, without managing a family conflict, without arbitrating between loved ones, without treating a mistreatment situation as a simple communication problem, and without replacing a social service, a healthcare professional, psychologist, legal adviser, protection authority, curatorship, legal representative, responsible relative, bank, insurance provider, administration or emergency service when safety, protection, ability to consent, health, violence, family pressure, money or responsibility requires specialized care.

What this help covers

This help may concern a clearly limited family or nearby contact: calling a loved one to confirm a time, preparing a message to request a non-sensitive document, sending simple information about a delivery, checking that a family caregiver has received practical information, finding the number of a person already identified, preparing a video call with a family member, helping note an emergency contact, preparing a short list of people to reach, checking whether a message should be sent by phone, email or messaging app, helping rephrase a simple request, preparing a callback, helping send neutral information to an authorized person, or preparing a sober update after a call. DomusHelp can also help distinguish ordinary contact from a more sensitive situation: confused person, isolated person, person under pressure, very tired person, relative insisting on obtaining information, relative asking for a code, family conflict, request for sensitive documents, money question, power of attorney, inheritance, insurance, health, housing, curatorship, signature, money transfer, banking access, administrative access, address not to disclose, person refusing to be contacted, potentially dangerous contact, suspicion of mistreatment, possible financial abuse, threat, harassment, blackmail, disappearance, unreachable fragile person or situation in which the person is not able to freely confirm what they wish to pass on. The aim is to support a useful and chosen connection, without taking control of communication, without weakening confidentiality, without creating emotional pressure, without exposing a vulnerable person, without turning simple contact into family mediation, legal advice, crisis management or a decision made in the person’s place.

DomusHelp does not replace a social service, a CMS or SMZ, a healthcare professional, a psychologist, a legal adviser, a protection authority, a curatorship, a legal representative, a mediation service, the police, an insurance provider, a bank, an administration or an emergency service. Contact with family or loved ones must never hide a risk: vulnerable person under pressure, uncertain consent, acute confusion, threat, harassment, serious family conflict, severe isolation, request for money transfer, request for account access, request for password, request for medical, banking or legal document, request for photo or identity document, pressure to sign, pressure to waive a right, request to communicate a protected address, suspicion of mistreatment, disappearance, unreachable fragile person, or serious doubt about safety. In case of immediate danger, threat, violence, suspicion of mistreatment, vulnerable person not found, acute confusion, family pressure, blackmail, possible financial abuse, inability to reach a responsible person, loss of ability to decide, significant distress or serious doubt about the person’s consent or protection, an emergency service, a social service, the CMS or SMZ, a healthcare professional, a competent authority, an authorized relative or the appropriate local service must be contacted without delay. DomusHelp does not decide in place of the person, does not sign any document, does not provide legal advice, does not manage family conflicts, does not transmit sensitive data without clear agreement, does not keep passwords, does not access private accounts without an explicit framework, does not record calls without consent, does not filter the person’s relationships, does not control their communications and does not guarantee that a loved one will answer, understand, accept, come or act.

Preferred providers

Insured administrative and digital help service

Suitable for simple and supervised help: preparing a call, finding an already identified contact, helping formulate a short message, checking a phone or tablet, preparing a video call, noting that contact was attempted, organizing a list of useful loved ones, preparing a callback, transmitting authorized practical information or helping formulate a simple request, without deciding in place of the person, without keeping codes, without banking access, without transmitting sensitive data and without managing family conflict.

CMS/SMZ, social service or healthcare professional

Suitable when the contact concerns a fragile, isolated, confused, recently hospitalized person, with loss of autonomy, in distress, under family pressure, difficult to reach, or when the exchange touches health, home support, protection, an exhausted family caregiver, a complex social situation, uncertain safety or a need for human and specialized assessment.

Legal representative, competent authority or qualified mediator

Suitable when the contact involves a conflict, a sensitive decision, a power of attorney, a curatorship, an inheritance, a separation, a housing question, a money question, suspicion of abuse, a no-contact situation, an address to protect, official responsibility or a situation that cannot be treated as a simple family exchange.

Before the intervention

  • Identify precisely the purpose of the contact: call, message, email, video call, callback, transmission of practical information or update of a useful contact.
  • Check who is making the request: person concerned, authorized relative, family, family caregiver, legal representative, CMS/SMZ, social service or professional already involved.
  • Obtain the clear, free, current and understood consent of the person concerned before any contact, message, call, photo, sharing of number or transmission of information.
  • Ask the person what they wish to say, what they refuse to say, whom they agree to contact and what must remain strictly confidential.
  • Limit shared data to what is strictly necessary: first name, number, time, practical information, general need or authorized contact.
  • Never ask for or keep a password, PIN code, email access, private messaging access, banking access, administrative identifier or unnecessary confidential data.
  • Check the recipient’s identity before sending information, especially if the message concerns health, money, housing, an address, a document or a sensitive family situation.
  • Avoid unsafe channels for sensitive data: medical documents, banking information, official decisions, identification data, private contact details or protected address.
  • Respect a refusal of contact: do not call, write, follow up or transmit information if the person refuses, clearly hesitates or appears under pressure.
  • Do not force reconciliation, family explanation, apology, meeting, emotional response or position-taking.
  • Prepare the communication tool: charged phone, suitable volume, readable screen, available network, verified contact, reasonable duration and possibility to stop the exchange.
  • Check whether a loved one, professional or trusted person should be present or reachable when the person is fragile, tired or confused.
  • Watch for warning signs: confusion, fatigue, fear, tears, pressure from a third party, unusual insistence by a loved one, request for money, request for a code or request for a sensitive document.
  • Plan a sober update: call attempted, message sent, loved one unreachable, response received, next callback, limit identified or referral needed.
  • Protect confidentiality: do not leave visible private documents, messages, photos, medical data, financial information, codes or unnecessary contact details.
  • Stop the intervention and refer to a competent service in case of threat, pressure, serious conflict, suspicion of abuse, doubt about consent, unreachable vulnerable person, financial request or emergency.
