Kreiskrankenhaus Emmendingen
When a discharge date is set and nothing is arranged at home yet, every day counts. We need around ten days before a carer can move in, and we will say at the first call whether that is achievable.
Served from Freiburg – close enough for a home visit, and honest enough to say so.
Emmendingen sits at the heart of the area we cover. From here we look after families across the whole town and the immediate surroundings. The first conversation takes place at your home, because the living situation can only really be assessed on site: where the bed stands, whether there is a separate room for the carer, how the bathroom is reached.
The surrounding area comes with it. Teningen, Sexau, Riegel am Kaiserstuhl, Kenzingen, Malterdingen, Weisweil, Herbolzheim, Waldkirch and the Elz valley belong to the Emmendingen catchment as a matter of course — we drive out there for a first conversation exactly as we would within the town.
A large share of enquiries reach us under time pressure after a hospital stay. We work closely with the Kreiskrankenhaus Emmendingen, the BDH-Klinik Waldkirch and the BDH-Klinik Elzach. When a discharge is approaching and nothing is arranged at home, every day counts — we usually need around ten days' lead time before a carer moves in, and we will tell you honestly at the first conversation whether that is achievable.
We base our advice on the care level assessed for you by the Medizinischer Dienst (MDK) and show you which benefits — care allowance, respite care — you can additionally claim from your care insurance fund. The Pflegestützpunkt Emmendingen advises you on this independently.

Most families reach us at one of two moments: a discharge date has been set, or an assessment has just come through. These are the places involved most often.

We arrange follow-on care at home from here too — tell us the discharge date and we will say what is possible.

Independent advice on care levels and benefits — they answer to nobody selling you anything. We build on what is assessed there rather than talking you into something else.
You describe the situation, we ask what matters: care level, mobility, night-time needs, whether German is essential. No obligation, no sales script.
We come to you and look at the flat: the bed, the bathroom, the carer's room. That is where the honest answer about what is possible comes from.
We propose one or two carers with their full profiles — age, experience, German level, what they have handled before. You decide.
Around ten days from decision to arrival. We handle the travel, the paperwork and the A1 certificate, and we are there on the first day.
Two questions decide everything else. We answer both before you ask, because a placement built on an unclear arrangement helps nobody.

Depending on care level, German language level and how much support is needed. Care allowance and respite care reduce this — we show you the real remaining figure, not the headline one.
A carer is not a qualified nurse. Medical procedures — injections, wound care, catheters — belong to an outpatient nursing service, which can come alongside. Anyone promising you both in one person is selling you something.
Tell us what the situation is. We will say honestly whether we can help, how quickly, and what it would cost — including when the answer is that something else suits you better.
