Andreas Hospice

The Andreas Hospice in the Horn-Lehe district of Bremen is located in the former community center of the Andreas parish. It offers space for eight terminally ill people in the final stage of their lives.

In addition to guest rooms, the Andreas Hospice also offers a family apartment. This is designed for families where a mother or father has a limited life expectancy. The entire family and friends can stay there. Each guest room meets modern design standards, including barrier-free access to a private terrace or balcony.

The kitchen-living room is a central meeting place in the house. Here, people chat, live, laugh, and also grieve together. It is a place of encounter for guests and their families, as well as for staff and volunteers.
