What it is
We treat at home, in nursing homes or in assisted living. We bring exercise equipment and, if needed, a portable treatment table.
At home we often see more clearly what is hard in daily life – the stairs, the bathroom, the walk to the mailbox – and practise exactly that. Family members are welcome to join and learn how to help safely.
Who it’s for
- after surgery, as long as you can’t leave the house yet
- if you need care or have severely limited walking
- for residents of care facilities
- if you live in Idar-Oberstein (all districts) or within about 15 km, e.g. Herrstein, Fischbach, Birkenfeld; Baumholder on request
Your doctor decides which treatment is right for you – we are happy to advise as well.
How a session goes
Request
Call us or send a request. We plan home visits in fixed rounds, usually in the morning.
First visit
Assessment in your own surroundings: how do you get out of bed, over the threshold, into the bathroom?
Treatment
The prescribed therapy, e.g. physiotherapy or lymphatic drainage.
Daily life & family
Tips on aids and safe routes around your home – together with your family if you like.
Duration & frequency
Treatment time matches the prescribed therapy, e.g. 15–25 minutes of physiotherapy. Travel time is on our side.
Fixed days and time windows, usually Monday to Friday mornings.
Do I need a prescription?
- Statutory insurance: only if “Hausbesuch: ja” (home visit: yes) is ticked on the prescription. Your doctor decides this when a visit to the practice isn’t possible for medical reasons.
- Private insurance: with a private prescription that mentions the home visit.
- Self-pay: by arrangement, see prices below.
Prices for private patients & self-pay
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Home visit fee (plus treatment) | €24.00 |
| Visit in a care facility, per patient (plus treatment) | €14.00 |
| Mileage outside Idar-Oberstein, per km | €0.60 |
Prices in euros, as of 01/2026. Patients with German statutory insurance don’t pay these prices, only the legal co-payment. How much private insurance (or TRICARE / your US plan) reimburses depends on your policy – please check with your insurer. General information, not insurance advice.
