Sterntalerhof, established in 1999, is a children's hospice located in Burgenland, Austria. Founded by Deacon Peter Kai and Psychotherapist Regina Heimhilcher, it began as an independent nonprofit charity association on a small farm. The hospice's mission is to provide support to families facing the psychosocial challenges of having a child with a life-threatening or life-limiting illness. Sterntalerhof is designed to be a place of refuge and recovery, offering hope and support to affected families.
The hospice operates on three guiding principles: providing holistic support to seriously, chronically, or terminally ill children and their families; maintaining a dignified and natural environment; and utilizing an interdisciplinary approach, which includes therapies such as equine therapy. Annually, Sterntalerhof cares for over a hundred children and their families, extending support for coping with challenges in home environments through a mobile service system.
