Purpose
The Free State of Bavaria has a considerable interest in high-quality hospice and palliative care for the population in Bavaria. By establishing a demand-oriented and comprehensive supply of inpatient hospice places, the aim is to ensure that seriously ill and dying people with a far advanced, incurable and life-limiting illness, for which (inpatient) hospital treatment is not necessary but outpatient treatment is not possible, receive the best possible palliative medical and palliative nursing care. The focus of the tasks, in accordance with the will of the affected people and their relatives, is the monitoring of a necessary pain therapy, symptom control and palliative nursing, psychosocial and spiritual care and support.
Inpatient hospices are independent facilities outside of acute inpatient care with special tasks and an independent care mandate. They are small facilities with a family character, usually with 8 to a maximum of 16 hospice places, whereby the spatial design of the facility is to be geared to the special needs of seriously ill dying people. Inpatient hospices are structurally, organizationally and economically independent facilities with separate staff and concept due to their care mission. An inpatient hospice cannot be part of an inpatient care facility.
