Care with heart: How Dornbirn professionals support you at home

Home nursing in Dornbirn is an important part of healthcare, caring for over 800 patients. The Dornbirn Nursing Association ensures that people in need of care can remain in their usual surroundings, which is particularly important during the holidays. Employees are mobile, work weekends and perform a variety of tasks from basic care to medication administration. “We are allowed to go to people’s homes and support them with their care,” emphasizes Daniela Rhomberg, who heads the nursing district management. Their teams are responsible for listening to patients' needs around the clock.

Comprehensive care in familiar surroundings

For many clients, such as 89-year-old Werner Adametz, the support from the nursing staff is an important help in everyday life. The nursing staff not only care about the physical health but also the mental well-being of the patients. “Our patients are self-determined; we help them to help themselves,” is the philosophy of the nursing association. Innovative care concepts and close collaboration with relatives and medical professionals ensure the high quality of care.

The demand for these services is constantly growing, which makes the search for qualified specialists a major issue. The association also works closely with communities to maintain the important work in home care. Support services, such as advice and the provision of aids for people in need of care, are comprehensively offered. The Nursing Association also offers special services to ensure an atmosphere of security and dignity so that no one is left alone during this time.
