Caritas Altenwohn- und Pflegegesellschaft

What Caritas Altenwohn- und Pflegegesellschaft does

Caritas Altenwohn- und Pflegegesellschaft mbH (CAP) is a non-profit eldercare provider and subsidiary of Caritasverband Wiesbaden-Rheingau-Taunus e.V., operating in Wiesbaden, the Rheingau region, and the Taunus area of Hesse, Germany. The organization runs 10 residential care facilities with a total of 626 residential places, four ambulatory nursing stations (Sozialstationen) in Eltville, Geisenheim, Taunusstein, and Wiesbaden, and a Meals on Wheels (Essen auf Rädern) service across five municipalities. It also operates the Caritas Palliativzentrum St. Ferrutius, comprising a stationary hospice and ambulatory hospice service, and a free telephone counseling line ("Was wird später," 0800/99 33 700). The organization was founded in 1984 with the establishment of Haus St. Hildegard in Eltville and has since expanded its portfolio through facility openings and recent integration of Mobile Altenhilfe.

CAP's primary revenue derives from Germany's statutory long-term care insurance (Pflegeversicherung), with regulated care rates (Pflegesätze) published for each facility covering residential, short-term, and respite care. Home care services are billed to health and long-term care insurance funds. The hospice is partially funded by donations and foundations. CAP employs an estimated 500+ staff across nursing, housekeeping, pastoral care, and administrative functions, with a recently elected 11-member staff council (Mitarbeitervertretung) reflecting organizational growth. Customer-facing distribution is entirely direct through owned facilities and mobile services, with marketing handled via the company website, Caritas social media channels, the caritas.work career portal, press releases, and community events. The technology stack is intentionally minimal: standard Cari-Net CMS, Google Maps for facility locations, and YouTube for video content, with ongoing accessibility remediation to meet WCAG 2.1 and BFSG requirements.

Broad incumbents

• Korian Deutschland: One of Germany's largest private operators of nursing homes, assisted-living, and home-care services. Comparable to CAP across the stationary, ambulatory, and hospice continuum, though operating as a for-profit pan-European platform versus CAP's regional non-profit model.

Direct peers

• Alloheim Senior-Residenzen: Operates a large network of residential care homes and ambulatory services across Germany. Closely comparable stationary-plus-ambulatory model to CAP, though private-equity-owned and broader in geographic scope.
• Diakonie Deutschland (Elder Care Operations): Protestant counterpart to Caritas, operating numerous residential elder-care facilities and ambulatory services nationwide. Most directly comparable as a faith-based, non-profit elder-care operator with similar values-based positioning.
• Arbeiterwohlfahrt (AWO) Senior Care Services: Welfare organization running stationary and ambulatory elder care across Germany, comparable to CAP's mix of residential homes, home care, and meals-on-wheels services under a non-profit welfare umbrella.
• Pro Seniore Residenzen: Operates a network of senior residences, nursing homes, and assisted-living facilities in Germany. Similar stationary-care service mix and aging-in-place orientation to CAP's residential portfolio.
• Kursana Seniorenresidenzen (Dussmann Group): Operates senior residences and ambulatory care services across Germany. Comparable stationary-and-ambulatory care portfolio serving similar elderly resident profiles.
• Caritas Pflege und Gesundheit (regional Caritas operators): Sister Caritas-organization elder-care operators in other German dioceses (e.g., Caritas Pflege GmbH in other regions). Most directly comparable peer as fellow Caritas subsidiary providing stationary, ambulatory, and hospice services under the same brand and mission.
• compassio Seniorenresidenzen (Bayerisches Rotes Kreuz affiliate): Operates residential care facilities across Germany under a faith-affiliated welfare umbrella, comparable in stationary-care focus and values orientation to CAP's residential facilities.

Regional players

• AUGUSTINUM Seniorenresidenzen: Operates high-quality senior residences primarily in Bavaria and southern Germany with a values-based ethos. Comparable to CAP's biography-oriented, mission-driven stationary care, though concentrated in a different region.

Emerging players
