What hospice care means
We care for the whole person.
Palliative care puts quality of life first. The team attends to pain and symptoms, as well as the emotional and spiritual needs of patients and their families.
Ongoing medical care
Care provided by our medical team, 24 hours a day, at our centres.
Support and companionship
Attention to each patient’s needs, with emotional and spiritual support for them and their family.
Two centres, the same dedication
A place for every age.
Children’s hospice
Care for children. Space to be close.
Opened in 2016, the children’s hospice provides palliative care in an environment dedicated to children. Medical care here goes hand in hand with attention to everyday moments and life.
We welcome children with incurable illnesses from across Romania and support their families. In 2025, the centre had ten beds, with rooms upstairs for parents and other family members.
Care includes pain management, wound care, respiratory support, physiotherapy, and psychological support for children and parents. Stays of 21 days to three months are arranged with the team according to each child’s needs.
Admission information
Adult hospice
Comfort, respect and dignity.
Opened in 2006, the adult centre cares for patients whose illness no longer responds to curative treatment. Pain management and continuous care are central to the team’s work.
We care for people with cancer and limited life expectancy when care at home is not possible and treatment in an acute hospital is not required. In 2025, the centre had 14 beds.
Families are involved in care. Alongside doctors and nurses, clergy and spiritual counsellors from different denominations, psychologists, and volunteers offer support with worries and practical arrangements.
