Care at home
Training and counselling at the patient's bedside
When people suddenly become in need of care, this often changes the life situation of the whole family unprepared.
We offer courses in small groups as well as care training for individual cases in hospital and at home. It is important to us to be able to respond to your individual questions and problems and to find solutions together with you and your relatives. You will learn basic care techniques that you can use on a daily basis, as well as other aids to make everyday life easier.
Carer training:
Care training begins in hospital at your relative's bedside.
