Nursing guide
Anyone who is confronted with a case of nursing care in the family usually has to make many decisions within a short time: What is to be done next? Where can I get support? For students and staff of the KU, there is a contact person who provides assistance.
Eva Vierring and Veronika Hecht of the Center for Marriage and Family in Society (ZFG) are trained as a company nursing guide.
They are the contact person for all matters relating to nursing care. They give an overview of company offers and external contact points. They do not provide intensive care advice, but offer orientation to those affected and interested and help to find the appropriate contact person in the region.
The guidelines (in German only) should serve as a first orientation when a care situation arises and provide relatives or affected persons with an overview of the most important information.
