St. Augustine Group competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- St. Franziskus-Stiftung Münster: Large Catholic non-profit healthcare group headquartered in Münster, Germany, operating hospitals, senior care homes, and disability services across NRW and beyond. Directly comparable as a faith-based, integrated non-profit care platform with similar funding model (SGB XI reimbursements, donations, Erbpacht/land grants from religious order) and similar strategic mix of acute care plus senior living.
- Marienhaus Gruppe: German Catholic non-profit operator of 18+ hospitals, senior care facilities, and rehab centers across multiple Bundesländer. Closely comparable integrated non-profit model with similar Christian-charism positioning, SGB XI reliance, and Erbpacht land structure from religious orders.
- Alloheim Senioren-Residenzen: One of Germany's largest private senior care operators with ~230 facilities and 20,000+ employees, owned by PE sponsor AUCTUS. Directly comparable in core offering (residential senior care, dementia care) and SGB XI reimbursement model; serves as primary for-profit competitor demonstrating scale advantage of PE-backed model versus regional non-profit operators like St. Augustinus Gruppe.
- Kursana (Dussmann Group): Private senior care operator within the Dussmann Group, operating ~130 facilities across Germany and Europe. Comparable in residential senior care, dementia care, and SGB XI/Pflegekasse reimbursement model, though operated under a for-profit corporate parent rather than non-profit sponsor.
- Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe: Major German non-profit organization operating hospitals, senior care homes, hospices, and outpatient services with roots in the Protestant Saint John order. Comparable faith-based non-profit integrated care platform; competes directly for nursing talent and SGB XI-funded contracts in NRW and surrounding regions.
- Malteser Deutschland: German Catholic non-profit affiliated with the Order of Malta, operating hospitals, senior care, hospice services, and emergency response. Comparable faith-rooted non-profit integrated care model, comparable SGB XI revenue dependency, and similar mix of senior care plus hospice/palliative services.
- Orpea Deutschland (Korian): Subsidiary of the French-listed Korian/Orpea group, one of Europe's largest private senior care operators with significant German footprint. Comparable in residential care, dementia specialization, and Service-Wohnen product, though PE/publicly-listed ownership model contrasts with St. Augustinus Gruppe's non-profit structure.
Broad incumbents
- Caritas Deutschland: Largest German Catholic non-profit care organization, operating ~1,000 senior care facilities plus hospitals, hospices, and disability services nationwide. Comparable faith-based non-profit model and SGB XI revenue dependency, but at vastly greater scale and national footprint; serves as benchmark for what scaled-up integrated Catholic care can look like.
- Diakonie Deutschland: Protestant counterpart to Caritas, operating thousands of senior care facilities, hospitals, hospices, and disability services across Germany. Comparable integrated non-profit care model and reimbursement mix; competing with St. Augustinus Gruppe for nursing talent and government contracts in overlapping regions.
- Sana Kliniken AG: Major German private hospital group with 50+ facilities plus rehab and senior care exposure, owned by the Bavarian employers' associations. Comparable on the somatic hospital and rehabilitation side of St. Augustinus Gruppe's portfolio (Johanna Etienne Krankenhaus, Krankenhaus Neuwerk, therapy centers), with overlapping NRW footprint.
