library service for hospitals and care institutions provides a book and a chat
In a hospital or care facility, a good book, CD or DVD can do wonders. That's why we organize library service for hospitals and care institutions. The core mission of library service for hospitals and care institutions can be perfectly described with the slogan "library service for hospitals and care institutions, more than a book". Besides lending out books, CDs and DVDs ... our volunteers especially make time for a short visit or conversation with patients and residents.
Customized library
The offer of our library service for hospitals and care institutions is very wide and tailored to residents and patients. We offer books, comics, CDs, DVDs, as well as read-aloud books, Daisy books (audiobooks) and viewing books. We have adapted materials for activity support for the elderly, and reminiscence materials to evoke memories in persons with dementia.
Time for a chat
Social contact is at the heart of library service for hospitals and care institutions. Our volunteers enjoy making time for a chat with the patient or resident. In addition to the book round and chats, we organize read-aloud or storytelling moments for elderly care center residents.
