The first step
Often a single conversation helps.
Many families carry the burden of care alone for a long time. On my first visit I come to your home, listen and together we work out what will relieve you now.
Care advice · Support · Interpreting
I am Sarah Abdi, a registered geriatric nurse from Troisdorf. I advise you on care levels, applications and support at home and accompany you to doctors and authorities when needed. There I can also interpret in Somali and Arabic. This helps you and your family keep the overview and shape everyday life as independently as possible.

About me
I help you find the right support, keep track of everything and shape everyday life as independently as possible. Personal, clear and reliable, so that care becomes easier day to day.

My path with you
Are you caring for a loved one?
Dear family, care often enters your life suddenly. Here I tell you how I work and why I support families in Troisdorf and the surrounding area.
What I believe in
Support in your language.
I founded Sonnhand to support people who find the German language difficult in everyday care. That is why I advise in German, Somali, Arabic and English and take time for all your questions.
Stronger together
25 years of experience in care.
I have worked in care for 25 years, including at the Cellitinnen-Krankenhaus St. Marien, at JOVITA Rheinland and at City Inklusive in Troisdorf. I pass this knowledge on and explain care levels and benefits to you in clear words. I am also at your side with applications and, if needed, accompany you to doctors and public offices.
Perhaps quite soon
Time for each other again.
- The applications are submitted.
- The appointments are planned.
- The medication is organised.
In closing
Together, care becomes easier.
Once applications, appointments and medication are sorted, there is room again for what matters in everyday life. For a cup of tea by the window, a look through the old photo album and quiet evenings in the garden.
A clear weekly plan gives you and your family security. I keep an eye on appointments with you, explain every step calmly and am available for your questions.
A short call is enough to get started. We discuss everything else in person at your home.
