The costs of serviced living are generally borne by the residents themselves. If the resident has a care level or makes use of care services, the care insurance fund will cover part of the costs.

What about the physical wellbeing?

Daily meals can be provided by catering services or “Essen auf Rädern”. An in-house restaurant is not available.

No, you can also rent our facilities without a recognized care degree. We will be happy to support you if you have any questions or would like to apply for a care degree.

Which senior citizens can live with us?

In principle, any senior citizen who is physically and mentally able to look after themselves and run their own household, apart from additional services, can move into a serviced apartment. It is not possible for senior citizens who are in need of care and therefore dependent on permanent professional care to move into an apartment. We are not a nursing home and do not offer any nursing services. Instead, we attach great importance to enabling you to lead a self-determined life in a safe and supportive environment.

What are the advantages of serviced living?
  • Barrier-free living - no obstacles and adapted living in old age
  • Independent and self-determined living - no need to move again
  • Social contact with other residents
  • Weekly programs - care, activities and occupations
