AVITA Spitex GmbH

Our KLV services

Services recognized by health insurance companies

We offer people who are dependent on nursing care and intravenous therapy the opportunity to live in their familiar surroundings.

It is important to us that you feel taken seriously, can make your own decisions, and feel comfortable in your own home. As members of interdisciplinary teams, nursing professionals contribute their specialist expertise to the care and treatment of patients. At the heart of everything we do is the individual as a responsible and accountable person. We express our appreciation through respect and tolerance in our dealings with people. We are committed to their autonomy and preserve their human dignity. In doing so, we take into account the individuality, culture, and religion of each person.
