What Kursana does

Kursana is a German private operator of residential senior care facilities, founded in 1984 and headquartered in Berlin. The company runs 95 care homes across Germany under four residential formats — Domizile (care homes), Residenzen (premium residences), Quartiere (integrated living quarters), and Villen (luxury villas) — supported by 6,700 employees and is positioned as one of Germany's leading private providers of senior care, assisted living, and nursing services. Its service portfolio spans stationary full-time care, short-term care, respite care, specialized dementia care, palliative care, day care, outpatient home care, assisted living, and coma care, with ISO 9001 certification through TÜV Rheinland serving as a stated quality marker.

The company is wholly owned by the Dussmann Group, a diversified German services conglomerate, and operates through multiple wholly-owned subsidiaries including Kursana Care GmbH, Kursana Social Care GmbH, Kursana Seniorenvilla GmbH, Kursana Management und Betriebsgesellschaft mbH, Kursana Wohnstift GmbH, and Kursana Wohnstift Fürth GmbH. Kursana's operating technology consists of standard healthcare management, resident management, care documentation, and quality management systems; no proprietary platforms, APIs, AI capabilities, or differentiating technology assets are disclosed. Customer acquisition runs through a direct-to-consumer and B2G model — facility-level direct sales, the corporate website with location-specific pages, social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Xing, YouTube), and referrals from hospitals and physicians.

Revenue is generated through monthly residential care fees partially covered by Germany's statutory long-term care insurance (Pflegekassen) under the Pflegegrade 1-5 framework, with residents paying co-payments and accommodation costs. Pricing is individualized per care level, accommodation type, and facility, and is not publicly disclosed. Specific revenue figures, funding history, and M&A activity are not publicly disclosed in the available source material.
