Ammerland-Hospiz

The Ammerland Hospiz in Westerstede offers holistic care for people in their final phase of life. Nestled in an idyllic forest edge location, hospitality, openness and human warmth characterize the hospice's actions.

• Integrated Care: The Ammerland Hospiz consists of a diverse team of nurses, physical therapists, art therapists, pastors and volunteers. These offer comprehensive care that focuses on the physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of residents and their families[1][2].
• Medical Care: Qualified medical care is ensured by the family doctor or palliative care physician, which is also available around the clock[2][4].
• Infrastructure: Eight individually designed guest rooms with private bathrooms, accessible bathroom, living room and room of silence offer a personal and cozy setting[4].

The mission of the Ammerland Hospiz is to enable seriously ill people to live a dignified and self-determined life until death. The main values are human compassion and respect for the individual needs of each resident, regardless of age, religion or origin[1][4].

• Cooperations: The hospice works closely with the Ammerland-Klinik and other regional providers in the healthcare sector to offer a comprehensive range of care[4].
• Support: Financial and material donations are welcome and contribute to the maintenance and further development of hospice work[1].
• Ethical Position: The Ammerland Hospiz rejects active euthanasia and is committed to humane palliative care[4].

The Ammerland Hospiz thus offers a warm "shelter in the clearing" where residents and their families can feel safe and individually accepted.
