Geriatric Rehabilitation Clinic Asklepios Aidenbach

The Geriatric Rehabilitation Clinic Asklepios Aidenbach is an interregional, globally recognized center of competence in rehabilitating geriatric patients. The hospital is in an idyllic area in Germany near the resort triangle of Lower Bavaria, Wilshofen, and Passau. The center aims for senior patients to be refreshed, lead independent and fulfilling lives, and thus return to their social environment fully. Therefore, the focus is not only on acute diagnoses but always on the rehabilitated person as an individual. Annually, the medical center is visited by 1,120 patients. Each beautiful, spacious single and double room, equipped for people with limited physical abilities, has a shower room, an emergency call service, and facilities for accommodating relatives if necessary. Modern soothing interior and wide green area contribute to the comfort of patients. Geriatric patients usually suffer from several acute or chronic diseases that increase the limiting effect and impair their quality of life. Therefore, a team of professionals applies the latest scientific and medical methods.  The Bobath concept is actively used to solve the problems of assessing and treating individuals with functional and movement dysfunction caused by central nervous system lesions.  The idea is based on current knowledge of motor control, learning, neuroplasticity, and biomechanics. Many techniques are available to solve everyday life's basic tasks. The goal is to achieve as much independence as possible and thus freedom from the help of other people. Also, considering the diversity of patients, speech therapy at Asklepios Geriatric Clinic Aidenbach treats and diagnoses people of any age with voice, swallowing, and eating disorders.  Since language and cognitive functions are inseparable, a positive effect is achieved in treating mental conditions (such as memory and attention disorders) thanks to electrostimulation therapy and LSVT (Lee Silverman voice therapy). The offer of Geriatric Rehabilitation Hospital Asklepios Aidenbach includes a wide range of therapies for each patient: manual and physical therapy, prosthetics and walking training, massages (lymphatic drainage, foot reflexology), electrotherapy, treatment by heat and cold, occupational and speech therapy. As a result, patients with severe injuries and fractures, Parkinson's disease, amputations, heart and lung diseases, and strokes have every opportunity to restore themselves to a better, happy life.
