What Augustinum does

Augustinum Stiftung is a Munich-based non-profit foundation founded in 1954 that operates approximately 40 locations across Germany with roughly 5,000 employees. The organization delivers a diversified portfolio of social services organized into four primary lines: senior living under the "Betreutes Wohnen Plus" assisted living model at 23+ residences; specialized internal medicine through the Augustinum Klinik München, a teaching hospital of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München; pedagogical institutions including kindergartens, schools, and workshops for children and adults with disabilities; and dedicated dementia care at Sanatorium Schwindegg and Itzel-Sanatorium Oberkassel. Since 2023, the Augustinum Berchtesgadener Land regional entity adds senior living, mobile and day care, a nursing school, kindergarten, and a preventive clinic in Bischofswiesen. Primary customers are individual seniors and their families; secondary segments include children and adults with disabilities, families with children, and medical patients.

The signature operational model, "Betreutes Wohnen Plus," combines independent apartment living with full-service care delivered by the in-house Augustinum Pflegedienst, including 24/7 nursing, meals, housekeeping, cultural programming, pastoral care, and palliative support through end of life. A proprietary financial product, PER (Pflegekosten-Ergänzungsregelung), caps residents' out-of-pocket nursing costs at €134.50 per month and provides uncapped coverage after a two-year waiting period, functioning as a unique differentiator in the German senior care market. Operational infrastructure includes an ISO 50001:2018-certified energy management system (in place since 2016, recertified for the third time in February 2026 across 11 locations) and an integrated in-house gastronomy subsidiary (Augustinum Gastronomie) that supplies all 23 senior residences and achieved a 36% food waste reduction in 2026. A new KI-Zukunftswerkstatt (AI Future Workshop) launched in April 2026 at Augustinum Kleinmachnow in partnership with HumanIQ, HTW Berlin, and Universität Hamburg.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly pension fees for senior apartments, nursing and care services, gastronomy, and educational and medical clinic fees. FY2024 reported revenue was €487.1 million, up from €444.1 million in FY2023 (approximately 9.7% growth). The go-to-market is consultative, anchored by a free German hotline (0800 2212345), video consultation, on-site visits, and trial stays. As a non-profit foundation, surpluses are reinvested into social services; there is no venture, private equity, or public ownership disclosed in the source material.
