Mission Statement of Palliative Care

Palliative Care describes a holistic care concept. The WHO (World Health Organisation) created a definition in 1990 for the holistic care concept and the accompaniment of people in the last phase of their lives:
“The active, total care of patients with progressive, far advanced disease and limited life expectancy whose disease is not responsive to curative treatment.
It refers to the control of pain and of other symptoms as well as the treatment of social, psychological, and spiritual problems.“
The main goal of Palliative Care ist o ensure making accessible the best quality of life possible for patients and their relatives.

We position our aims and tasks with regards to the assurance of the highest possible quality of life and the greatest possible self-determination through holistic, individual, imaginative nursing care on a professional basis for patients who are going through the advanced stage of an incurable disease.

We set highest priority in having a conversation with you. You will be involved into the care process as much as possible. You will receive support and accompaniment when you have to say farewell to your loved ones and cope with grief.

In order to do this it is inevitable to set and follow the rules of the care process, to develop nursing care standarts, and to continuously educate and train our personnel.

We would like to reach as many people in our society as possible and help free the topic of death from taboos.
