When you develop the need for staying in a hospice, you can register with the institution. Such a non-binding registration can also be handled by the social service of a hospital, by your doctor or another person authorized by you.
As a patient, you only cover personal costs like your co-payment for medication or the phone service in your room. All other costs are covered by the health and care insurance (95%) and donations to the hospice (5%)
Our hospice also provides pastoral support to the guests and their relatives and friends. I am available for you as a pastor and have time regardless of whether you belong to a church.
People in difficult life situations live with the daily tension between disappointment and hope, faith and despair, companionship and loneliness.This is particularly so for the time when the goal for bodily health becomes unattainable. The view of life and that which had and has meaning in it, can change, certainties disappear. Perhaps a space will open then for unimagined experiences. Possibly you are asking yourself what the meaning is for what you are going through now and are looking for advice to clarify important questions.
Together we can look for what you have had to bear in your life and are bearing now. And sometimes it’s also just about withstanding what is happening together.
It is possible at any time to take communion, make confession, and receive the Sacrament of Anointing and blessing or in the framework of a last blessing to say farewell to your relatives.
