What Avendi does
Avendi Senioren Service is a German private operator of senior care facilities headquartered in Mannheim, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of DIRINGER&SCHEIDEL-Unternehmensgruppe (D&S). The company runs 22 fully inpatient care facilities (stationäre Pflege), one partial-inpatient day care facility (Tagespflege), one senior living complex (Service-Wohnen / PflegeApart), and six mobile care services (avendi mobil) spread across 14 locations in German states including Baden-Württemberg, Rheinland-Pfalz, Sachsen-Anhalt, Niedersachsen, and Hessen.
Avendi's service portfolio covers the full continuum of elderly care: permanent residential nursing, short-term and respite care, daytime supervised care, alternative assisted-living apartments, and home-based ambulatory nursing visits. Each facility is positioned with location-specific core competencies (Kernkompetenzen), and the operator emphasizes compassionate, professionally delivered nursing rather than a technology platform. No proprietary digital platform, AI system, or software product is disclosed; the business is fundamentally a labor- and facility-intensive care services operator.
The company generates recurring revenue from long-duration care contracts with residents and families, supplemented by German statutory long-term care insurance (Pflegeversicherung) and private pay. It markets directly to consumers and families through its own website, careers portal, and an active social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Xing, YouTube). In 2023, Avendi was named "Betreiber des Jahres 2023" (Operator of the Year) at the Expo Living & Care in Berlin.
