Kinderhospiz Netz

The Kinderhospiz Netz is a unique institution in Vienna dedicated to the comprehensive care and support of life-limiting ill children and their families. Founded with the aim of meeting the needs of these families, the Kinderhospiz Netz offers a variety of services that significantly improve the quality of life for those affected.

• Mobile and In-Patient Care: The Kinderhospiz Netz enables the care of children both in their familiar home environment and in Vienna's only children's day and weekend hospice. A multi-professional palliative team and trained volunteers ensure comprehensive and individualized care for the children and their families[4].
• Nursing and Therapy: Highly qualified nursing staff take over the care and support of the children. Additionally, various therapy options are offered to alleviate physical discomfort and contribute to relaxation[4].
• Family Support: The institution places special emphasis on supporting and relieving the entire family, including siblings. This includes family activities, counseling, and accompaniment to make the remaining time as fulfilling and positive as possible[4].

The main mission of the Kinderhospiz Netz is to provide life-limiting ill children and their families with the best possible quality of life. This is achieved through comprehensive and loving care that addresses the individual needs of the families. The focus is on relieving the families and strengthening family bonds to make the remaining time together as positive as possible[4].

The Kinderhospiz Netz is entirely funded by donations and offers all its services free of charge to families. To maintain this work, the hospice relies on various sustainability initiatives:

• Corporate Partnerships: Companies can contribute to the well-being of families through donations, sponsorships, and initiatives. These partnerships are presented publicly and contribute to the long-term planning and securing of assistance[5].
