Vivantes Hospital Ida Wolff Berlin-Neukolln

Vivantes Hospital Ida Wolff Berlin-Neukolln specializes in geriatric medicine and serves patients aged 70 and over. Treatment at the clinic combines emergency medicine and early rehabilitation to help patients improve their quality of life. The Ida-Wolff Hospital enjoys a quiet location, and the clinic’s garden is popular with patients during summer. The Ida Wolf Hospital has four departments. The clinic is designed for 136 beds for inpatient treatment. The rooms have single and triple rooms with built-in or directly adjoining showers. Many rooms have direct access to the balcony. In addition, the hospital has isolation rooms for infectious patients. Physiotherapy at Vivantes Ida Wolf Hospital is an elementary part of geriatric treatment.  Hospital specialists also pay particular attention to the reduction of pain and the support of self-healing powers. The medical team promotes this through various manual techniques and electro and ultrasound therapies. In addition, the Bobath concept and other modern treatments have been used successfully. In support of this, physiotherapy at the Ida Wolf Hospital offers methods of Far Eastern medicine, such as working with the IDOGO apparatus and qigong. In the interdisciplinary geriatric team, doctors and nurses work hand in hand with psychologists, psychotherapists, masseurs and rescuers, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and music therapists. At the Ida Wolf Hospital, the medical team treats specific diseases of old age, such as brain disorders in dementia, chronic or acute lung diseases, circulatory disorders after a stroke, or bone fractures after a fall. In the four departments of the hospital and the adjoining day hospital, there are practitioners specializing in internal medicine, palliative care, and geriatrics, as well as doctors undergoing special training to become internists or general practitioners.
