💼 What the programme involves

The St. Martin care home for old people is in the city of Löffingen. The supporter of this institution is the hospital charity foundation in Löffingen. This is a legally independent public charity; it is not for profit. The care and support of residents in the old-age care home St. Martin is organized by an all-inclusive (mind and body) programme. The newest knowledge is used in the areas of nursing care, medicine, and social aspects. Meeting the individual needs of the residents is a team effort. The residents, family members, doctors and the care specialists all work together. Basic care, treatment care, and social care are all focused on the resident. The nursing specialists work together with social care workers to help the residents. This makes all-inclusive care possible. The use of European Volunteers is mainly for the social care and daytime support of the residents. Volunteers can co-design the daily programme. They are supported by the nursing support staff.
