Management
In our Palliative Care Competence Center we offer
Symptom control
One of the most important goals is to treat and improve distressing symptoms and complex pain settings.
Decision-making on procedures, therapies and care
As the disease progresses, we organize so-called "round table discussions" with those affected and their relatives and / or loved ones in order to find the best individual approach together.
A sustainable network
A stay on the palliative care ward can have different objectives, such as the care and treatment of the person affected, relief for relatives or support at the end of life. Our team works closely with all those involved to ensure the best possible care when the patient returns home or transfers to another institution.
Personal atmosphere
The comfortably furnished single and double rooms on the palliative care ward offer a personal atmosphere and are open to all insurance classes. Each room has its own bathroom, a view of the lake and access to the park. A meeting room is also available for relatives.
PALIMED
PALIMED offers medical palliative care in the Zurich East region - flexible, close and reliable.
Our services are aimed at seriously ill people who are cared for by the two mobile palliative care teams Palliaviva and the Palliative Care Team Wetzikon.
PALIMED is an association of the Männedorf and Uster hospitals and the participating doctors

Information for patients
Admission to our palliative care unit is possible from within the hospital, from other hospitals and also from home.
However, various admission criteria apply:
- The presence of a serious, progressive and incurable disease
- Deterioration of the already limited general condition with advanced disease
- Difficult decision making
- Overburdened and overworked family members providing care or unresolved care situation
- Our palliative care unit is for patients requiring acute hospitalization and is not a long-term institution. As a rule, the minimum length of stay is one week. However, the aim of a stay on the palliative care ward is to help patients find a long-term follow-up solution if it is no longer possible for them to go home.
Grants
Männedorf Hospital maintains a fund for the palliative care unit from donations. These funds benefit the palliative patients in full.
