"A palliative care unit is part of the hospital and not the home that a hospice can replace when the actual home is no longer possible."

"On the one hand, the hospice provides good medical care to treat complex illnesses. On the other hand, it also enables normality and a certain feeling of home."

"We already realize today that a hospice is necessary, and we know the demographics. Dying is becoming more common in our city, simply because we are getting older and we are all facing it. That's why the need is growing and services for this phase of life are becoming all the more important."

"We are such a big city - and in a situation where you have to say goodbye to someone forever, I find it unreasonable to have to travel a long way into the surrounding area."

"Hospice work - and this is very, very important - also means that relatives, loved ones, friends, family and acquaintances are also accompanied. It means being supported and not having to bear and endure pain and farewell alone."

"Everything should be possible at our hospice when it comes to giving our guests the kind of retirement they want."

"I have arrived, I can go my way here in peace until the end. Personally, I wouldn't want my family or my children at home to always remember that I left."

"It is exactly right that we give people in the last stage of their lives, which is certainly not the easiest, a place that nevertheless gives them strength, dignity, security and can also be inspiring."
