RENAFAN

What RENAFAN does

RENAFAN GmbH is a Berlin-based, founder-owned private care provider founded in 1995 that operates an integrated care network across Germany, with selected operations in Austria and China. The company delivers the full continuum of nursing and care services — ambulatory/home care (Grundpflege and Behandlungspflege), intensive home care for ventilator-dependent patients, residential care in ServiceLeben facilities and Seniorenzentren, day care (Tagespflege), assisted living (ServiceWohnen), dementia-specialized care shared apartments (Pflege-WGs), and integration assistance for people with disabilities — through 90+ locations and a workforce of 5,000+ employees. Technology is conventional for the sector: standard medical equipment for treatment care, digital documentation systems, and emergency call systems in assisted-living apartments, with no proprietary software platform or AI layer described in the available data.

The business model is anchored in regulated German statutory insurance reimbursement. The majority of revenue is recurring monthly payments from Pflegekassen (nursing care insurance, covering Grundpflege by Pflegegrad 1-5) and Krankenkassen (health insurance, covering physician-prescribed Behandlungspflege), supplemented by § 45b SGB XI monthly entitlements of €131 per eligible beneficiary for household and supervision services. Private-pay add-ons (e.g., medication blistering, service-living apartment rents) provide incremental non-insured revenue. Customer acquisition is sales-led via free in-home consultation, 24/7 availability, care-grade application support, and physician/insurance coordination; B2C segments are elderly individuals, intensive care patients, people with dementia and disabilities, and family caregivers. The integrated group structure — comprising subsidiaries for training (RENAFAN Akademie), disability assistance (gGiS, RAS), intensive home care (Lebens(T)raum), real estate (REVITAN), and international operations (RENAFAN China) — functions as a vertical integration play around the core care delivery business.
