Housing and care Magdeburg non-profit GmbH

What Housing and care Magdeburg non-profit GmbH does

Wohnen und Pflegen Magdeburg gemeinnützige GmbH (WUP Magdeburg) is a municipal non-profit care provider headquartered at Leipziger Straße 49a in Magdeburg, Germany, owned by the City of Magdeburg (Stadt Magdeburg) and operating since 2006. It runs eight stationary nursing facilities — Haus Heideweg, Lerchenwuhne, Mechthild, Olvenstedt, Peter Zincke, Reform, Salbke, and Budenbergstift — with a combined 849 care places, making it the largest stationary care provider in the city. The portfolio extends into ambulatory home care via the wholly-owned WUP mobil subsidiary, specialized out-of-hospital intensive care at Haus Mechthild, day care (Tagespflege) and 24 barrier-free senior apartments in Domviertel, short-term stays through a Kurzzeitpflegehotel, plus therapy, dementia and recreational services.

Service prices are set per the German Pflegegrad (care level 1–5) framework under SGB V and SGB XI, with no single-room surcharge; costs are funded by residents' pensions, long-term care insurance (Pflegekasse) and, where applicable, social assistance (Sozialamt). WUP directs all surplus back into the facilities as a gemeinnützige GmbH. Customers are reached directly via the wup-magdeburg.de website, the Pflegeplatzhilfe hotline (0391 280411111), hospital and social-services referrals, and Facebook.

The technology footprint is modest: a standard web content management site with SSL/TLS, an internal staff data exchange portal, Matomo open-source analytics, and a WhatsApp channel for career inquiries. Core competitive differentiation comes from in-house training infrastructure — including the SkillsLab simulation facility built with Klinikum Magdeburg, partnership with Berufsbildende Schule IV for theory, and a Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr program via Internationaler Bund — plus 18-plus years of nursing education history and approximately 80 trainees. Leadership is Managing Director Martin Danicke with Supervisory Board Chair Simone Borris.
