Neuruppin opens a new palliative center: a light in dark times!

In Neuruppin there is reason to be happy: A new palliative center was opened, which has a very special meaning for the region. With an investment volume of around four million euros, the facility is now ready to offer people with life -shortening diseases of high -quality care. Inside, the first tenants expect not only twelve apartments in the coming years, but also eight places for short -term care, which can be obtained from July 2024, such as MAZ reported.

The Prignitz-Ruppiner Hospizgesellschaft, which has existed for five years, is pleased about the successful building, the foundation of which was laid in November 2023. Mayor Nico Ruhle described the center as pioneering and optimally located. Interestingly, there is also a listed clinker building from 1878, which used to be part of Schönbeck’s brewery and fulfilled various functions such as a provisional prison in the past. In the future, a cultural and training center will be created here, in cooperation with the medical university, reports the Hospizgesellschaft Neuruppin .

Need for palliative care

The opening of the palliative center comes at the right time, because many patients urgently wait for a place in hospice facilities in Neuruppin and the surrounding area. The population has increasingly become aware of the importance of good palliative care. For this growing demand, the outpatient nursing service, which is collected, is also well set up to offer individual consultations for palliative living.

The support of the project comes from various donors, including the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs and the Pact of Care. Particularly noteworthy is the promotion of 300,000 euros by the German television voter, which continues to drive the project.
