Helianthum Steißlingen

What Helianthum Steißlingen does

Helianthum Steißlingen (legal name: Helianthum Lebensstätte für Pflege & Wohlbefinden GmbH) is a privately-held, owner-operated senior care operator headquartered in Steißlingen, in the Bodensee-Vorland region of southern Germany. Founded around 1999 and led by Managing Director Oliver Stellfeld, the company provides round-the-clock residential nursing care, short-term and respite care (Kurzzeit- und Verhinderungspflege), severe/intensive care (Schwerstpflege), and — within the 2018 Neubau — protected dementia accommodation and household-style Pflegewohngemeinschaften. The Steißlingen campus comprises two purpose-built facilities: a 2001 Bestandsgebäude with 45 rooms and a 2018 Neubau with 87 single rooms, 4 care apartments, and 25 WG places, totaling ~160 care units. A second site, Helianthum Orsingen (formerly Daheim Orsingen), was integrated on July 1, 2025.

Operationally, Helianthum relies on the SIS (Strukturierte Informationssammlung) electronic nursing documentation framework and ArjoHuntleigh patient-transfer equipment to support care delivery, with an in-house kitchen, in-house laundry, a 24-hour emergency call system, and dedicated §43b SGB XI activity programming. The facility carries the MDK Bestnote 1.0 quality rating, the top independent score from Germany's nursing quality inspectorate.

Commercially, the company operates a direct-to-consumer model: residents and their families initiate contact via the website, phone, or in-person visits, supported by 360° virtual tours, educational guides, paid search, social media, and downloadable resource packs. Pricing is structured by care degree (Pflegegrad 1–5) and building, with daily rates ranging from ~€132.61 to ~€209.14, monthly all-in costs of roughly €4,034 to €6,278, and incremental revenue from short-term stays (subsidized up to €3,539/year via Pflegekasse) and optional add-ons (multimedia, transport, secretarial services). Revenue is recurring and heavily exposed to German long-term care insurance reimbursement and to demographic demand in the Lake Constance catchment.
