Our concept

Our concept is the result of a professional collaboration among a German Care (Deutsche Pflegestandards) standard nursing management team, geriatric specialists, doctors and nutritionists. Great emphasis and priority are given to the residents’ personal interests, always based on an integrative care approach. The Olympion Community is an institution with international and intercultural aspects, where each resident can contribute with his or her strengths and weaknesses to the community. It is particularly important for us to support the individuality and independence of each resident and to respect his personal needs and habits.

Target groups

The Olympion nursing home offers 30 single and double rooms accommodating people of all care levels. The institution can host residents for a shorter or longer period. The nature and extent of the nursing and care services are adjusted according to the individual’s state, needs and wishes, as well as the severity of need for treatment.
