Adding more life to the days.
We accompany seriously ill and dying people and their families throughout the Main-Spessart district. Voluntary, free of charge, with time.
A good life to the very end. That means giving security, listening, being there, having time.
From our mission
Four ways we walk beside you.
Accompaniment
We visit seriously ill and dying people at home, in care homes or in hospital. We have time, we listen and we relieve the family.

Non-denominational. Discreet. Close.
Our service is voluntary and non-denominational, committed to Christian ethics. An accompaniment only begins if the patient or the family expressly wish it. Confidentiality goes without saying. We do not provide nursing care, but we work closely with family doctors, palliative teams, hospitals and care services.
