What Dreisam Socio-medical care companies Freiburg does

Dreisam Sozialmedizinische Pflegebetriebe gGmbH is a non-profit (gemeinn\u00fctzige GmbH) socio-medical care provider headquartered in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, founded in 1991 and operating under the joint trusteeship of AWO Freiburg, DRK Freiburg, and Der Parit\u00e4tische Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg. The organization delivers a comprehensive care continuum through five ambulatory care teams (Dreisam Nord, Dreisam S\u00fcd, Emmendingen, Waldkirch), four day care facilities with 69 total places, two residential senior centers (82 inpatient places at Seniorenzentrum An der Elz, plus the Glottertal project scheduled to open end-2026), 28 barrier-free assisted-living apartments, a 24/7 emergency call service, a recognized ambulatory palliative and hospice service, and the specialized PIOS mobile outreach program for homeless and addiction-affected individuals. Two co-branded education assets (Freiburger Pflegeschule joint venture with DRK Landesschule Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg established 2023, and the internal DREISAM Pflegeakademie) supply a captive nursing talent pipeline. Revenue is generated primarily through reimbursement from statutory long-term care insurance (Pflegekassen, SGB XI), statutory health insurance (Krankenkassen, SGB V), social welfare offices, and public grants for hospice services, with published monthly price lists by care degree (Pflegegrad 1-5); the Freiburger Pflegeschule adds professional-services revenue. The go-to-market is direct field-based via in-person care teams, supplemented by job-fair participation, an applicant portal, social media channels (Facebook, Instagram), and referral pathways through the three trustee welfare organizations and the Palliativnetz Freiburg network in which Dreisam is a co-shareholder since 2010.
