The organization traces its origins to the Bethanien-Verein founded in 1874 and operates 10 facilities across Berlin and Hamburg delivering a full continuum of care services for adults. These include full-time stationary nursing care (Pflegewohnen), premium senior residences with service, psychiatric specialist care for chronic mental illness and addiction, senior day care, ambulatory home care, short-term and respite care, palliative care, supported individual living, and protected living areas for dementia patients including Pflegeoase units for severely immobile dementia residents.

The service portfolio is differentiated by Christian-diakonal values, 140+ years of heritage, and specialized care methodologies such as the Psychobiografisches Pflegemodell nach B\u00f6hm, Basale Stimulation, Validation, and respectare\u00ae. Therapy modalities span occupational, music, art, movement, garden, and animal-assisted therapy (notably alpacas at the Radeland facility). Supporting community infrastructure includes the Angeh\u00f6rigen-Akademie (Relatives Academy) since 2011, three public restaurants (Havelterrassen, Mundgerecht, Martini), the Havelgarten Catering operation serving 250 meals daily, pastoral care (Seelsorge), social services, guest accommodations, and the RadeLandl\u00e4dchen courtyard shop. The myo mobile app facilitates family-to-staff communication for residents' relatives. The organization holds multiple IQD quality seals for psychiatric care, Kununu TOP COMPANY recognition (2022 and 2023), and the G\u00fctesiegel for integration of international nurses.

Revenue is generated primarily through German public long-term care insurance (Pflegekasse) reimbursement based on care degree (Pflegegrad), supplemented by resident co-payments and private pay for premium residences. Additional revenue streams include ambulatory care services billed through Krankenkasse, public restaurant operations, and event catering. Customers are individual seniors, people with chronic mental illness, dementia patients, and their families, accessed through healthcare system referrals, physician recommendations, social services case management, and direct inquiries. All services are delivered exclusively through company-owned facilities with no third-party distribution channels.
