Allocation and Assumption of Costs
The Hamburg Leuchtfeuer Hospice in St. Pauli offers seriously ill and dying people a protected space for the final phase of their lives. Do you need information about the costs and requirements for moving into our hospice? Here you will find answers to the most important questions.
What are the requirements for moving into the hospice?
A need for hospice care is one of the prerequisites for admission. This requires an incurable illness such as cancer or AIDS and a limited life expectancy. The need for hospice care must be certified by the attending physician, who is usually the first point of contact. The hospital social services are also happy to assist.
Admission to Hamburg Leuchtfeuer Hospice is possible at short notice, subject to availability. Early contact with the hospice as a possible care option is therefore advisable to ensure the right decision can be made if necessary.

What does a place in the hospice cost?
The costs of a hospice stay are covered proportionally by statutory health insurance, statutory long-term care insurance, and the hospice’s own contribution. Additional services are financed by donations to Hamburg Leuchtfeuer. There is no personal contribution required from residents.
The staff at Hamburg Leuchtfeuer support you with formalities and correspondence with health and care insurance providers.
