Nursing care

Committed staff who accompany you on your journey to recovery

With a great deal of sensitivity, commitment and passion, the staff in all areas of the Privatklinik Ritzensee work hard every day to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The sense of community that sustains the teams creates a pleasant working atmosphere and a perfect ambience on the road to rapid recovery.

Katrin Neumayr, DGKP Ward management

In addition to medical services, nursing care is an essential component at the Privatklinik Ritzensee. Our employees combine a passion for their profession, experience and sound professional knowledge as well as future-focused working methods and an openness to new methods. The excellent cooperation in and among the different areas at Privatklinik Ritzensee and the resulting relaxed atmosphere create great added value for employees and patients alike.

It is hugely important to us that people feel comfortable with us. A good feeling on admission, relaxed procedures in the clinic, a relationship based on trust with the attending specialist and a calm atmosphere can contribute significantly to a quick recovery.

Service and comfort at 4-star level, the regional, healthy cuisine and the professional staff in all areas make the Privatklinik Ritzensee one of the leading health centres in the region.

Physiotherapy

SPECIALISTS IN MOVEMENT DEVELOPMENT AND CONTROL

After your operation, our physiotherapy and massage specialists are at your disposal. The aim is to support the healing process effectively. Physio techniques help to heal impairments of the musculoskeletal system, alleviate damage to the nervous system and diseases of the internal organs. But physical and occupational therapy measures also support the treatment of psychological problems. In other words, across all disciplines, physiotherapy and occupational therapy make an important contribution to healing – of course always depending on the condition of the individual patient.

The ultimate goal is to promote recovery and restore health. First and foremost, occupational therapists support patients in regaining or maintaining the greatest possible independence in everyday life, school and work. If this is not one hundred per cent possible, physiotherapists and occupational therapists support and advise those affected and their relatives in dealing with new life situations in the best possible way.

Service and hospitality

The professional nursing team is at your disposal around the clock. Individual wishes are gladly fulfilled in order to work together towards a quick recovery. Emergency facilities in the room guarantee medical care around the clock.

In addition to the medical services provided by Privatklinik Ritzensee, physiotherapy treatments are available after operations to support healing during the inpatient stay. Chaplains are also available upon request.

Accompanying persons can stay overnight in the patient’s room on request.

HEALTHY, FIRST-CLASS CUISINE WITH A FOCUS ON REGIONAL INGREDIENTS

A healthy diet plays a major role in recovery as well as for general well-being.

Culinary delights are one of the main pillars of the feel-good and health concept at the Privatklinik Ritzensee. Our chef and his team of experienced assistants are aware of their responsibility and manage to conjure up healthy dishes from regional and seasonal products every day. We source food primarily from the immediate surroundings and are pleased to count local farmers among our suppliers.

For breakfast, freshly brewed coffee, different types of tea, freshly baked bread, butter, jams and the best sausage and cheese products are served according to preferences and preferred diets.

For lunch and dinner you can choose from different menus. The meals are varied, healthy and orientated towards the individual needs of the patients. Personal preferences as well as intolerances and special diets are gladly taken into account.

Meal times:

Breakfast: from 08:00
Lunch: from 12:00
Afternoon snack: from 15:00

Das Allerwichtigste vorweg "HERZLICHEN DANK" für die gesamtheitliche Rundumbetreuung bei euch im Sanatorium Ritzensee. Dabei meine ich nicht nur die Tatsache , das wenn ein Patient eine Beschwerde hat, sondern wie in meinem Fall verspürt, beginnend vom Empfang über die Reinigung bis zur täglichen Betreuung der Stationsschwestern sich man in besten Händen fühlt. Des weiteren noch ein ärztlich, menschlicher Zugang der speziell in dieser Zeit mit Sicherheit seines Zeichen sucht.

Region

A JEWEL IN THE ALPS

The private clinic is located close to Lake Ritzensee, nestled among the backdrop of the surrounding mountains. This idyllic location combines privacy and a wonderful tranquillity that can contribute significantly to a speedy recovery. The surroundings are rural and reflect the character of the Alps. Beautiful farms, spacious meadows and fields and the magnificent mountain scenery ensure a holiday feeling during your stay.

The Pinzgau region in the province of Salzburg is known far beyond its borders as the “most contrasting region in the Alps”. Here, scenic beauty meets unique mountain and water sports opportunities and interesting art and cultural institutions meet enjoyable fresh air experiences on the mountain peaks and in the valley. The picturesque Saalfelden Basin lies at the foot of the Steinernes Meer. The craggy peaks gained world fame due to their unique beauty and the enclosed fossils from long ago. In the immediate vicinity, in addition to the picturesque Maria Alm, which is popular with hikers, there is Leogang, which is well-known among bikers, Saalbach as the “Home of Lässig” and, last but not least, the nationally and internationally popular Zell am See. The region around the Privatklinik Ritzensee is considered a true natural jewel – in summer it combines crystal-clear lakes, rugged mountain peaks, gentle hills, beautiful alpine meadows and rustic alpine huts with a picture-book idyll. In winter, the region is known as a centre for winter sports such as cross-country skiing and offers the best conditions for ice skating, winter hiking and tobogganing.

Saalfelden in facts:

Location: Europe – Austria – Salzburger Land – Zell am See – Saalfelden am Steinernen Meer

Nearest airports: Salzburg (65 km), Innsbruck (135 km), Munich (195 km) Nearest railway stations: Saalfelden (3 km), Zell am See (15 km)

Winter sports facilities: Cross-country skiing, skiing, snowboarding, various outdoor and indoor activities Summer sports facilities: Swimming, hiking, biking, various outdoor and indoor activities

The region is just as popular with sportsmen and sportswomen as it is with pleasure holidaymakers. Saalfelden offers sporting and cultural highlights for the whole family and impresses with its authenticity, diversity and recreation options.

Radiological examinations

Tauerndiagnostik GmbH is integrated into “Gesundheit Innergebirg” and offers state-of-the-art technology in the pleasant setting of the Privatklinik Ritzensee. Patients of all health insurance funds benefit from the considerably more pleasant and faster examination procedure, which is carried out in the area of breast screening by the certified team of staff under the direction of Dr Karl Egger, primary physician in the Department of Radiology at the Tauern Clinic. Another significant advantage is the short waiting time for appointments.

The following services are performed by Tauerndiagnostik:

  • Conventional radiography
  • Ultrasound
  • Magnetic resonance therapy
  • Bone density measurement
  • Mammography examinations as part of the breast cancer screening programme

MAGNETIC RESONANCE THERAPY

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an X-ray-free, painless and fast diagnostic procedure that provides precise information about clinical pictures and is also very important in preventive medicine. MRI is a completely painless examination method and is provided on a self-pay basis. You can find more information on the website of Tauerndiagnostik.

DEXA BONE DENSITY MEASUREMENT AT THE PRIVATKLINIK RITZENSEE

A device of the latest generation is used at the Privatklinik Ritzensee for DEXA bone density measurement. Since it went into operation at the beginning of October 2021, it has made it very easy to determine whether there is reduced bone density.

The examinations do not require prior registration, you are welcome to come to the Privatklinik Ritzensee during opening hours. You will receive a reliable diagnosis that your attending specialist can use to initiate targeted treatment.

MAMMOGRAPHY IN PINZGAU

Tauerndiagnostik, which is part of “Gesundheit Innergebirg” and is located in the pleasant premises of the Privatklinik Ritzensee offers short waiting times and a friendly ambience. The state-of-the-art “Siemens Mammomat Inspiration Prime” sets new standards in reduced-dose mammography with unparalleled image quality. The integrated 3D tomosynthesis ensures that diagnoses are even more accurate and the number of false-positive findings is reduced.
