EnglishKuria is a warm and professional hospice in Amsterdam. We care for people in the last phase of their lives. As cure is out of the question, we try to make the time left as pleasant as possible. Kuria is homely. Residents receive lovingly and personal care by dedicated professionals and volunteers.
Palliative Terminal Care
Kuria’s focus is to offer their residents a life as comfortable and as humane possible till the end. That is why we practice optimal palliative care with high standard pain- and symptom control. Palliative sedation can be part of this: a resident is administered medication to sleep and will experience less pain. Euthanasia is not practiced in the hospice.
Psychosocial and spiritual care
Being ill and knowing that the end is near raises concerns and questions. For example about the past, about relationships or about what will happen after death. Kuria offers professional psychosocial and spiritual support. This time can also be difficult for family and friends of the resident. They will also receive support.
Quality of our care
Kuria has received the quality mark Prezo Hospicezorg. This quality mark implies that Hospice Kuria meets the quality requirements to be met by hospices in The Netherlands.
Everyone is welcome
Hospice Kuria has a Christian identity. Everyone is welcome and every philosophy is respected. Residents don’t have to be Christians.
