Discharge, Cooked Egg White

summary of the first meeting with Mrs. Oehler

on 29/03/2007 in Aldrans, in the center of our social Sprengel

The contact with the mobile home care performed by physician, hospital, relatives or the patients themselves will


The initial contact is made with the patient at home. On the following, paying attention:

  • environment of the patients (housing)
  • care situation (the patient lives alone or with his family, ..)
  • social network is (it's family members, friends, neighbors, etc. support the patient)
  • Physical state (medical report, Assessment of the current situation site)

-> assessing the need for professional care


services of the Mobile Home care:

  • home care by doctors and possibly dipl.KrankenpflegerInnen
  • nursing by nursing assistants
  • home help - financial support

If a case exceeds the competence of the Mobile Home care is taken by district social contact with the relevant expertise (for the mentally ill, hospice for terminal cancer patients, occupational therapy, physiotherapy ...).

addition is detected, the need for wheel chairs, IV pole, house alarm, etc.. Hospital beds come from the Red Cross, working with other organizations is working very well.

financial issues are resolved only at the end, every patient should get help as quickly as possible.


What to do?

All Sozialsprengel (63 in Tirol) work differently, more or less professional. It would take some basic lines to achieve a uniform level.

could contribute to a regional way Administration.

specially hired case managers could take complicated cases.
