Service von A - Z
Before moving into an inpatient care facility, there are many things for relatives and future residents to consider and arrange. We have therefore compiled a CHECKLIST to provide you with assistance and orientation. If you would like further information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our EMPLOYEES personally.
Quality in nursing is also based on compliance with so-called expert standards. These quality instruments are developed by recognized experts and reflect the current state of knowledge in the profession. It goes without saying that our hospital also works in accordance with these expert standards. You can find out more about the individual expert standards by clicking on the individual sub-items:

Our GFO Center Attendorn, Wohnen & Pflege Franziskaner-Hof attaches great importance to climate protection. Within the scope of our possibilities, we constantly examine the use of sustainable products and technology.
Our vehicle fleet consists (with a growing share) of numerous hybrid and electric vehicles.
The energy supply of the GFO Center Attendorn, Wohnen & Pflege Franziskaner-Hof is ensured by a combined heat and power plant. The cogeneration of heat and power offers a significantly better utilization of energy than can be achieved with conventional heating systems.
Our food purchases in the areas of bakery products, meat products, fruit and vegetables are made from regional suppliers in order to avoid long transport routes. We are constantly testing and promoting the use of organic foods.

A person is considered to be in need of care if he or she is no longer able to look after him or herself independently due to age, illness or disability. In Germany, a wide variety of assistance systems are then in place. As a rule, people in need of care and their relatives are then also entitled to graduated financial support. To this end, the legislator has installed a system of care guarantees.
Since the reform of the classification and assessment of care needs in 2017, five care grades now apply (they have replaced the previous three care grades). Care grade 1 denotes the lowest level with the least need for support, while care grade 5 denotes the maximum level of assistance required for people in need of care. The five care levels are used as a basis for the financial benefits provided by payers, in particular the long-term care insurance fund.
Classification into care grades is based on six criteria, known as modules:
Module 1 "Mobility": the assessor looks at physical mobility. For example, can the person get up on his or her own and walk from the bed to the bathroom? Can he or she move around independently within his or her own four walls, is climbing stairs possible?
Module 2 "Mental and communicative abilities: This area covers understanding and talking. For example: Can the person concerned orient himself in time and space? Does he or she understand facts, recognize risks and can he or she hold conversations with other people?
Module 3 "Behavioral and psychological problems": This includes restlessness at night or fears and aggression, which are stressful for the person in need of care, but also for their relatives. This is also taken into account if there are defensive reactions to nursing measures.
Module 4 "Self-care": For example, can the applicant wash and dress him/herself, can he/she go to the toilet independently and eat and drink?
Module 5 "Dealing independently with requirements and stresses caused by illness or therapy - and coping with them": The assessor looks at whether the person concerned can, for example, take medication him/herself, measure blood sugar independently, use aids such as prostheses or a walker, and see a doctor.
Module 6 "Shaping everyday life and social contacts": For example, can the person concerned organize his or her daily routine independently? Can he or she come into direct contact with other people or go to the skat club without help?
Further information on the topic can be found u.. on the page of the Federal Ministry of Health:
The price for a place in a nursing home is made up of several components. This is stipulated by law. These include the care itself, costs of room and board, and investment costs. The monthly costs are made up of these components and vary depending on the region and the home.
If residents are unable to cover the costs from their own resources, they can apply for "assistance with care" (according to § 61 SGB XII). In principle, every person in need of care is entitled to this assistance.
We have compiled the monthly prices for STATIONARY CARE and SHORT-TERM CARE for you.
