The
The Rhein-Wied Hospiz in Neuwied-Niederbieber is the first inpatient hospice in the Neuwied district and offers severely ill and dying people dignified care in the final phase of life. The facility was founded by Hospiz im Landkreis Neuwied gGmbH, a collaboration of Marienhaus GmbH, the Neuwied Hospice Association e. V., the DRK non-profit hospital GmbH Rheinland-Pfalz, and the Franciscan Brothers of the Holy Cross e.V.[2].
The mission of the Rhein-Wied Hospiz is to accompany severely ill and dying people with dignity and to enable them to shape their lives autonomously. The facility affirms life and views death as part of life[4]. The dignity of the individual is at the center of all efforts.
The hospice is committed to sustainable financing by relying on donations. Five percent of operating costs must be covered by donations, which amounts to about 200,000 euros annually[3]. This financial support enables the hospice to offer its services free of charge and improve the quality of life for guests. Additionally, the hospice is supported by a strong network of volunteers that promotes integration into the local community[2].
The Rhein-Wied Hospiz is not only a place of care but also a place of strength, offering a special atmosphere due to its natural location by the Aubach. The facility is an important part of the palliative network in the Neuwied district and contributes to relieving local hospitals[1][2].
