Social counseling

A serious or chronic illness can bring about temporary or permanent changes and raise questions that go beyond purely medical treatment.

Social counseling therefore supplements the medical, nursing and medical care and treatment in hospital with comprehensive and needs-based support.

We are happy to advise you and your caregivers on questions and problems that may arise in connection with your illness, particularly with regard to further care.

We work with you to develop needs-based and individual support measures for your life after discharge.

This is done in close cooperation with other professional groups within and outside the hospital.

Our services in detail

  • Medical rehabilitation

  • Nursing and care services in the event of imminent or existing need for care
- Outpatient home care and domestic care
- Inpatient short-term or permanent care

  • Advice on social law (disability law, health insurance, care procedures, etc.)
  • Advice on social and economic security
  • Information on health care proxies and living wills

Counseling is free of charge and is of course subject to confidentiality. It always requires your consent.

Please note:
Please note that, for data protection reasons, we can only provide advice and support if we have received an order (so-called EM request) from the treating doctor or ward.
