The hospice house
A home for a while, in the heart of Leer.
The first inpatient hospice in East Frisia. Opened on 22 January 2009, initiated and built up by the Hospiz-Initiative Leer.
With dignity, warmth and security
When home is no longer possible.
Many seriously ill people would like to die at home. That is not always possible. In the hospice house they can still feel at home, with a garden, a fireplace, a quiet room and an East Frisian sofa for teatime.
Our volunteers also accompany the guests in the hospice house. The house can be reached around the clock and has a website of its own.
