Private hospice
Home hospice is a specialized form of care we offer to seriously ill and terminally ill clients in their own home. The purpose of private hospice is to allow the client to spend their final days in comfortable and familiar surroundings, surrounded by family and loved ones, while receiving the necessary medical and emotional support.
- Tailor-made courses
- Licensed nurses
- Aesthetics and care
Why choose private hospice over traditional hospice facilities?
Choosing to furnish the home as a hospice gives the client and their family a deeper sense of peace and security. Instead of having to adapt to new and often unfamiliar surroundings, the client can remain in their own home, where memories and love are deeply rooted.
Furthermore, home hospice allows for more personalized and tailored care, where the care team can adapt to the client's unique needs and wishes. This creates a more holistic and human-centered approach to end-of-life care.
Starting a private terminal course
You contact us
We always start with a conversation - non-binding and at your pace. Here we listen to your wishes and needs. You are welcome to call, write or let a relative get in touch.
We will visit you
We come to your home so we can get a sense of your surroundings and talk more specifically about how we can best support you in your everyday life.
Your private nursing team
You'll have a dedicated team of nurses who follow you throughout the process. This gives you peace of mind and ensures that you don't have to start from scratch every time.
Let's get started
Once everything is in place, the process starts slowly and smoothly. We adapt to your rhythm and needs and make sure you get the help and support you need.
How does a private hospice work?
Terminal care certificate: When a person is seriously ill or dying and life-prolonging treatment is no longer appropriate, a doctor will issue a terminal care certificate. This certificate gives access to a number of benefits, including free medication and the possibility of caregiver leave for relatives.
Private Health will help you obtain this terminal declaration and arrange for the necessary medication, which is free with the declaration.
Aids and medication: We will arrange for your medication to be collected immediately and order the necessary aids, which often include a hospital bed, a pressure-relieving mattress, and various items for medication administration.
Room design: We design the room of your choice in your home with a focus on the right sound, calm light, and a safe atmosphere. We incorporate aesthetics into our care to create a sense of calm and rest, and make sure the room doesn't look like a hospital room.
The role of the nurse: Our nurses have overall responsibility and observe the client intensively. They take care of relieving pain and agitation so that the client can move through life calmly and at rest. They also perform direct care, including bathing, hair care, oral hygiene, changing clothes, and more.
Special needs: If the client has special needs, we discuss these with them before they move into their final days. Our primary nursing task is to be with the client and relieve them and their relatives to ensure a good and peaceful final time together.

The benefits of private home hospice
Peace of mind in your own home: Being in your own home at the end of life can provide an irreplaceable sense of security. The familiar surroundings, personal atmosphere and daily routine can give the client a deep sense of security and peace.
Personalized and tailored care: At Private Health, we understand that every client is unique and their needs may vary. That's why we offer a tailored care plan that takes into account the client's individual wants and needs, ensuring they receive the best possible care.
Ability to be surrounded by loved ones: In the comfort of home, the client has the opportunity to be constantly surrounded by family and loved ones. This can not only give the client a sense of love and support, but also allow relatives to spend quality time together in a familiar atmosphere.
Flexibility in the care plan: The end of life can be unpredictable and needs can change quickly. Home hospice allows us to be flexible and quickly adapt the care plan to changing needs, ensuring that the client always receives the right care.
Home hospice: Care at the center
In life's most fragile moments, the spiritual dimension becomes particularly prominent. At Private Health, we recognize the importance of managing these emotions and the need to find meaning, comfort and reconciliation.
Our experienced nurses are dedicated to creating an atmosphere of calm and understanding where the client can reflect on life's big questions and find peace in their own beliefs and worldview. We are here to ensure that no one feels alone on this personal journey towards the end of life.
As a provider of terminal care, Private Health works closely with Topdanmark. If you have insurance through Top Denmark, it may mean that a large part or perhaps all of your costs will be covered. Additionally, Denmark offers a one-time subsidy. For deeper insights and details, please feel free to contact us.

What do we offer?
We've received some nice words along the way
Dear Private Health and the entire team,
Thank you so much for stepping in during an acute and very critical situation for my mother and our entire family. Your professionalism and care was fantastic and very competent.
Highest recommendations from here.
Frederik
When our father became terminally ill, he wanted to spend his last days at home and we struggled to get public assistance, but ran into long waiting times and summer vacation.
Private Health and the entire team were our salvation! In just a few days they set up absolutely amazing help and support with visits and care every day and were incredibly flexible in quickly adapting care as the disease progressed.
Thanks to Private Health and the amazing and highly professional nurses, our father got the end of life he wanted.
Family in Nærum
After the death of our father, it was difficult for our mother to be on her own a lot and we couldn't cover visiting her every day ourselves. Therefore, it was a great support that Private Health was able to help with 2-3 weekly visits to our mother for a few months at very short notice.
Pleasant visits, chatting and short walks gradually helped her through the first difficult time".
Daughter, Louise
