Dr. johannes Wimmer
"Leaving the hospital marks a vital step in recovery, and with the right preparation, caregivers and patients can face this transition with confidence, feeling supported and ready to manage care at home."
„The tasks of a caregiver also include the daily examination of the person in need of care. What does the skin surface look like, is there any redness, small wounds or pressure ulcers? Don't worry – in an emergency, wound care is provided by professionals. But we train you to recognize when something is wrong. And I am happy to be able to support you here with my medical expertise.“
