Ward 37 - 2

The geriatric ward 37-2 has 20 beds.

In order to provide our patients with the best possible nursing, it is important to work together in an interdisciplinary team of physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists and other professional groups. We focus on early rehabilitation, geriatric complex treatment, nursing for dementia patients and patients with delirium.

Basal stimulation, validation and seeing and caring for the patient as a whole are very important to us, and we also provide intensive advice to patients' relatives.

We promote the self-confidence of our employees so that they can learn to make decisions and develop freely in their profession. Our team is encouraged to contribute ideas and suggestions to the daily work routine, to work together, to support and help each other and to openly express suggestions for improvement as well as criticism. Together as a team, we have overcome turbulent and stressful times.
