Bürgerheim Rheinfelden

What Bürgerheim Rheinfelden does

Bürgerheim Rheinfelden is a municipal senior care facility (Eigenbetrieb) owned and operated by the City of Rheinfelden (Baden) in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Founded in 1959, the facility provides full-time residential nursing care (Vollstationäre Pflege) with 133 permanent care places distributed across 17 double rooms and 99 single rooms in three residential living groups, plus 15 integrated short-term care places (currently reduced to 1 during ongoing construction). The facility is staffed by approximately 175 trained personnel covering nursing care, social activities, housekeeping, catering, maintenance, administration, and quality assurance. The care model is built around Bezugspflege (primary nursing), where each resident is assigned a dedicated nursing professional from admission to ensure continuity and personalized care planning.

The facility generates revenue through monthly recurring care fees charged to residents, regulated under German care insurance law (SGB XI). The pricing follows the Einrichtungseinheitlicher Eigenanteil (EEE) framework at €78.32/day, resulting in example monthly costs of €3,805.31 for Pflegegrad 2-5 residents after insurance deductions, with additional Leistungszuschlag ranging from €382 to €1,910.08 based on length of stay. Ancillary services include social activities (Soziale Betreuung), nutritional services with choice-based meal plans, an on-site cafeteria, events programming, and an in-house newspaper (Bürgerheim-Zittig). The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through an online inquiry form via the Caremates platform, serving local and regional elderly residents with documented care degrees 2-5. No proprietary technology, app, or API exists; the facility operates as a traditional care home with municipal governance and Irene Sorg as Operations and Home Director.

Broad incumbents

• Pro Seniore Residenzen: Established German private operator of senior care homes with Vollstationäre Pflege, Kurzzeitpflege and Pflege bei Demenz. Comparable service mix and target resident profile (Pflegegrad 2-5) to Bürgerheim Rheinfelden.
• Cura Seniorencentrum: German private operator of Pflegeheime focused on stationary care, short-term care and Demenzbetreuung. Comparable in offering the same residential and short-term care services to elderly with care-degree needs.
• Agaplesion: Diaconal healthcare and elder care operator running multiple Pflegeeinrichtungen across Germany, with services covering Vollstationäre Pflege, Kurzzeitpflege and assisted living. Comparable care model targeting Pflegegrad 2-5 residents, though faith-based ownership rather than municipal.
• Korian Deutschland: One of the largest private operators of stationary Pflegeeinrichtungen in Germany, offering full residential care, short-term care and assisted living at hundreds of sites. Directly comparable as a competitor for stationary nursing capacity, though operating as a multi-site chain rather than a single municipal facility.
• Alloheim Senior-Residenzen: Major German private care chain operating numerous Pflegeheime offering Vollstationäre Pflege, Kurzzeitpflege and Demenz care. Comparable on service portfolio (full-time residential and short-term care) but with substantially larger geographic footprint and private-equity backing.

Direct peers

• Evangelische Heimstiftung: Large non-profit operator of stationary Pflegeeinrichtungen with strong presence in Baden-Württemberg, offering Vollstationäre Pflege, Kurzzeitpflege and Demenzbetreuung. Highly comparable given shared regional geography in Baden-Württemberg and similar non-private-equity ownership profile.

Regional players

• Hansa Seniorenzentren: Operator of senior care homes primarily in northern and western Germany offering Vollstationäre Pflege and Kurzzeitpflege. Comparable on services but operates in different German regions than Bürgerheim Rheinfelden's Baden-Württemberg catchment.
• Marienhaus Seniorenzentren: Catholic-affiliated operator of stationary care facilities in southwestern Germany including the Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg area. Comparable on stationary nursing care and short-term care services for Pflegegrad residents.
