Care rethought: This is how St. Hedwig is revolutionizing geriatric care!
Innovative care concept “Together on Tour” in Ludwigslust-Parchim facilitates individual care and increases employee satisfaction.
Care rethought: This is how St. Hedwig is revolutionizing geriatric care!
In the heart of Wittenburg, the St. Hedwig nursing home has taken an innovative step in nursing practice. The newly implemented concept “Together on Tour” aims to focus on the individual strengths and weaknesses of both residents and nursing staff. How Northern Courier reports, this future-oriented care format is increasingly being used in other Caritas nursing homes in the north, such as in Parchim.
A special feature of this approach is the individual route planning for nursing staff. This planning takes into account both professional knowledge and personal strengths and leaves room for the special needs of the residents. For example, some residents' later breakfast requests can be incorporated into the tour plan. The principle of close communication and collaboration between the nursing staff becomes particularly clear here, which makes organizing tasks much easier.
Where the journey is going
The concept not only aims to not lose sight of the central task of nursing, but is also intended to increase the attractiveness of the nursing profession. Minister of Health, Stefanie Drese, recently visited the facility and praised the individual care and motivation of the employees. “We have a good hand in implementation,” said the minister. In an area where there is a staff shortage, this approach could help minimize downtime and make nursing work easier.
The St. Hedwig Foundation not only stands for innovative care concepts, but also offers important services for caring relatives. Especially in times when nursing staff often feel overburdened, the option of short-term care is a valuable relief. This can be used, for example, after a hospital stay if there is no support at home, such as St. Hedwig describes. People in need of care are cared for in an inpatient facility for up to eight weeks, which benefits both those in need of care and their relatives.
Scientifically based care
In addition to the concepts in geriatric care already mentioned, Wehrle Diakonissen Private Clinic points out that care offers are based on numerous specialist disciplines in order to provide patients with the best possible support. Particular emphasis is placed on motivation to overcome illness. The offers are designed to promote stress-reducing measures and support your own healing processes. The integration of relatives also plays a central role.
This variety of approaches and methods in care clearly shows that the focus is on individual, appreciative treatment. With concepts such as “Together on Tour” and short-term care, the St. Hedwig Foundation not only offers basic care, but also significant support in challenging times.
