Our work

We are contact persons ...

• for patients and their relatives
• for general practitioners
• for outpatient care services
• for inpatient care facilities for the elderly
• for all those who want to enable seriously ill people to remain in their home environment and need support in doing so

It starts with the first contact: You can contact the SAPV coordination center directly or contact your family doctor. You will find the telephone number at the bottom of this page.

The coordinator will conduct the initial consultation with you at short notice at home, in hospital or in the facility.

The care provided by a palliative care doctor, a suitable care service, aids, etc. will then be arranged by the coordinator. The care service remains your first point of contact throughout - and is available around the clock.

Specialized outpatient palliative care includes

• Detailed advice and information in the initial consultation
• Guidance and advice for patients and their relatives on all palliative medical and nursing issues
• Support in crisis situations
• Forward-looking emergency planning
• Medical and nursing support during the course of the illness
• Support in coping with everyday life, hospice care during the dying phase, farewell and mourning

SAPV is provided regardless of the level of care and any basic care already provided. SAPV focuses on the individual wishes and needs of patients and their relatives. To this end, we work together with a network of GPs, pharmacies, medical supply stores, physiotherapists and other stakeholders.

The costs of specialized outpatient palliative care are covered by the statutory health insurance funds according to the doctor's prescription. Similar guidelines apply to privately insured persons. We will be happy to advise you individually.
