The hospice is a house where volunteers provide care to seriously ill people in the last phase of life, when a cure is no longer possible. Because it is not always possible to provide sufficient care at home in the last phase of life, it is possible to continue the care in the hospice house with the help of volunteers, family and prof. .

About Hospice wageningen renkum
In the common living room with open kitchen there is enough space for everyone who wants to join.
Those in need of privacy can retreat to the quiet room. Here is also an extensive library and the possibility to listen to music.
Family and friends are very welcome. If desired, we involve them in the care, of course in careful consultation with our guest and the nursing staff. There is also a listening ear for family and friends if they need it.
For a small fee, it is always possible for family or friends to eat with them or stay the night with their loved ones.
Room with garden
Each guest has their own room, equipped with wide French doors to the garden. The rooms are comfortably furnished and, of course, guests can bring their precious items from home to create their own personal atmosphere.
