ATERIMA CARE

What ATERIMA CARE does

ATERIMA CARE (legal entity: Aterima Care GmbH) is a German home care service provider specializing in 24-hour in-home companionship and daily living assistance for elderly individuals. Founded in 2021 as part of the Polish Grupa Aterima enterprise group and headquartered at Königsallee 27 in Düsseldorf, the company delivers its services through a franchise network of over 50 Regionalberater/innen (regional consultants) who provide on-site, in-person advisory, caregiver matching, and care coordination across Germany. Core offerings include Alltagsbegleitung (daily companionship), with specialized variants for dementia, Parkinson's, post-stroke recovery, and bedridden patients, alongside coordination of treatment nursing, emergency call systems, pharmaceutical blistering, day care, and home modifications.

The business operates three interrelated lines. The primary consumer line generates recurring care arrangement fees billed monthly, with revenue calibrated to the level of care required, caregiver qualifications, and financing choices (including statutory Pflegeversicherung). The ATERIMA CARE Business line sells tiered corporate packages (Basis, Komfort, Premium) to German employers to reduce absenteeism, presenteeism, and turnover caused by employee caregiving burdens. The ATERIMA CARE Franchising line generates licensing income from entrepreneurs who pay setup fees and ongoing royalties for exclusive territorial rights, brand usage, and operational frameworks, with all caregivers recruited and trained through the in-house Akademie für Betreuung.

Operationally, ATERIMA CARE is not a technology company but is differentiated by a proprietary translation assistance tool bridging caregiver-client language gaps, a 24/7 nursing specialist telephone hotline, TÜV-certified quality management, and structured four-day post-arrival review conversations. Distribution is hybrid: a free national hotline and SEO-driven website funnel inquiries into the regional franchise network, complemented by a Ratgeber content library, social media, podcast appearances, and review platforms (Trustpilot, Proven Expert). The company does not disclose revenue, headcount, or funding figures.

Revenue model

1. Franchise Fees from Regional Partners: ATERIMA CARE operates as a franchise system (established 2021 as part of Grupa Aterima). Regional entrepreneurs (Regionalberater/innen) pay franchise fees to use the ATERIMA CARE brand, system, and operational support in exchange for exclusive territorial rights within defined geographic areas.
2. Care Arrangement Service Fees: ATERIMA CARE generates revenue by matching families with qualified Alltagsbegleiter/innen (daily companions/caregivers) who live in the care recipient's home. Fees are based on the level of care required, the caregiver's qualifications, and the scope of services coordinated. Costs vary by individual situation and are determined through personalized consultation.
3. Corporate Employer Packages (Business B2B): ATERIMA CARE Business offers tiered corporate packages (Basis, Komfort, Premium) to German employers to support employees managing caregiving responsibilities. Revenue is generated through service fees for employee surveys, consultations, workshops, and placement of care services.
4. Franchise Partnership Fees: Franchise partners invest their own capital to join the ATERIMA CARE franchise system, paying setup/onboarding fees and ongoing royalties in exchange for brand usage, operational frameworks, exclusive territories, and lead generation support.
