Our services
Stabilization and relief
for distressing symptoms such as shortness of breath, pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, as well as support for emotional distress.
Creation of an emergency plan
for the environment to react in case of deterioration occurring at home.
Organization of a network
We help you build a sustainable network and support you in preparing to return to your familiar surroundings or, if this is not possible, in finding a suitable alternative.
Conflict advisory services
during decision making conflicts, or dealing with existential questions in the context of coming to terms with disease and the end of life.
Mobile Palliative Care
More and more people want to be able to remain in their familiar surroundings during the last phase of their lives. Männedorf Hospital, together with Palliaviva and Spitex, makes this possible for all patients in the palliative care unit.
Our mobile medical palliative care team looks after patients at home and provides medical support. Palliaviva and Spitex provide nursing care.
Initial contact with the mobile team takes place - if possible - before discharge from the hospital. However, we are also happy to accept registrations from patients who have not been treated in our palliative care unit.

Terminally ill - what now?
« On May 24, 2022, we were able to demonstrate at an information event in Meilen how we, together with our cooperation partners, can improve the quality of life of people in the final phase of life. Watch the event in full length here. »
Our team
The nursing and medical team has specialised training in palliative care. It is supported by the hospital's pastoral care, social counseling, volunteer service, nutrition counseling and physiotherapy. Close contact with the Oncology Center enables cancer patients to receive further support from the Oncology team. In addition, there is cooperation with radiotherapy and the medical and psychological staff of the Center for Mental Health. We also work together with occupational therapy, the Palliaviva palliative care service, the St. Gallen Bridge Service, the ZeTuP Rapperswil and the GZO Wetzikon.
Grants
Männedorf Hospital maintains a fund for the palliative care unit from donations. These funds benefit the palliative patients in full.
