The King Ludwig House Clinic houses two specialist departments under one roof: the Orthopedic Clinic King Ludwig House – with 105 beds, one of the largest in Germany – and the Center for Mental Health at King Ludwig House – opened only in 2017.
The King Ludwig House Clinic is operated by the District of Lower Franconia.
Two Specialist Departments Under One Roof
The Orthopedic Clinic King Ludwig House was founded over 100 years ago. Today, the clinic is a hospital providing maximum orthopedic care for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. The clinic offers patients from Germany and abroad the full spectrum of modern orthopedics in both surgical and conservative treatment.
The specialist hospital is also the long-established Chair of Orthopedics at the University of Würzburg.
Since 2013, the clinic has been certified as an Endoprosthetics Center of Maximum Care (EPZmax) by endoCert. The hospital has also repeatedly been recognized in the FOCUS clinic list as a TOP National Hospital in the Orthopedics category.
Orthopedic Clinic King Ludwig House
The ASB Senior Center “An der Volkach” in Volkach, located in the picturesque Mainfranken region, offers a home for people who require a high level of support and care. Built in 2011, the facility with its bright and friendly atmosphere is situated in close proximity to the historic city center. Here, men and women in need of care can spend the last phase of their lives in security and with loving attention.
The Senior Center follows the household community concept, where 60 people in need of care live in four small, family-like residential groups. These residential groups enable a daily routine that aligns with the residents’ previous life rhythms. Two of the residential groups are specifically designed for people with dementia and are staffed with appropriately trained personnel.
Center for Mental Health
In spring 2017, the King Ludwig House was expanded to include a Center for Mental Health. The center is a specialist clinic for the diagnosis and treatment of all mental illnesses and includes an inpatient area with a total of 60 beds, a day clinic with 24 places, and a psychiatric outpatient clinic. The center is an acute psychiatric facility with a care mandate. The focus is on general
psychiatry. In particular, the following conditions are treated: depression, post-traumatic stress disorders, and anxiety.
Working Among Friends
At the King Ludwig House Clinic, a family-like atmosphere is maintained. The facility is rather small – as a result, everyone knows each other, and it feels like working among friends and family. The networking between professional groups is close, and the willingness to exchange ideas is ever-present.
A True Matter of the Heart: The Health of All Employees
The health of the staff plays a very special role at the King Ludwig House Clinic. For this very reason, the clinic has established an Occupational Health Management system that is being expanded in stages.
The program includes, for example, yoga and Pilates classes or a back school. By the way: The food in the canteen is highly praised. Every day, patients and employees have a choice of up to three different lunch dishes – all freshly prepared with the best ingredients.
