Find care in Ibbenbüren and plan the transition
After a hospital stay, many things often have to be clarified at once. Here you tell the advice options in Ibbenbüren apart and prepare the search for care afterwards.
A request only reaches participating providers. It does not secure a free place.
During the hospital stay: involve the social services
For the time after treatment, the social services of the treating hospital are an important point of contact. The social services at the Klinikum Ibbenbüren describe that they advise on discharge, aids and social law questions and arrange further help where needed.
Ask there what should be clarified together before discharge. Treatment and discharge management remain with the hospital.
Independently of that: find local advice
For questions outside a hospital process there is a care advice centre in Ibbenbüren; the advice there is free of charge. Caritas in the Tecklenburger Land also offers care advice for people in need of care and their relatives – by appointment, by phone, at home or at its premises in Ibbenbüren.
Ask the service in question which advice option suits your concern.
Plan the first period and the permanent solution separately
Sometimes an interim solution is needed first while further care is still being organised. Note the start and the expected duration, and with every response ask for which period and which support an offer applies.
Needed from discharge: the start, support in the first days, a contact person who can be reached and who takes on which task.
To clarify afterwards: how things continue in the long term – at home with a home care service, with day care or in a care home.

Frequently asked questions about care in Ibbenbüren
Does Pflege Patienten replace the hospital's social services? No. The platform supports requests and responses. Treatment and discharge management remain with the hospital.
Do I already have to know the final care arrangement for the interim period? No. Describe the current need as clearly as possible in the request. If the type of care or further planning is open, clarify this with the social services or an advice service before you commit to an offer.
