Vollstationären

Vollstationären is a German term that translates to "full inpatient" or "full residential" care. It describes a level of care where an individual resides in a facility on a permanent or long-term basis, receiving comprehensive services and support. This type of care is typically provided in settings such as nursing homes, residential care homes, or specialized rehabilitation centers.

The services included in vollstationären care are usually extensive and tailored to the individual's needs. This can encompass medical supervision, nursing care, personal assistance with daily living activities like bathing and dressing, meals, housekeeping, and social or therapeutic programs. The goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals who require continuous care due to age, illness, disability, or recovery from a significant health event.

Vollstationären care is distinct from outpatient or partial inpatient services, where individuals may receive treatment or support for specific periods without residing at the facility. The decision to move into vollstationären care is often made when an individual's care needs can no longer be adequately met at home or in less intensive settings. It signifies a commitment to providing a complete living and care solution within a dedicated facility.
