Hospital St. Katharinen

What Hospital St. Katharinen does

St. Katharinen Hospital is a German civil law foundation (Stiftung bürgerlichen Rechts) operating a single-site senior care facility (Pflegeheim) at Hospitalstraße 2 in Derenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, within the Harz region near Wernigerode, Halberstadt, and Quedlinburg. Founded in 1151 by the Regensteiner Counts and affiliated with the Diakonisches Werk (Diaconal Work of the Protestant Church), the institution provides full-time residential care, short-term care (Kurzzeitpflege), and respite care (Verhinderungspflege) for approximately 50 elderly residents across 46 single rooms and 2 double rooms, staffed by 37 certified nursing personnel available 24/7. The core offering is augmented by on-site therapeutic services (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy), hairdressing and foot care, religious services, and §43b SGB XI activity programs.

The business operates on a subscription-recurring revenue model based on German Pflegegrade billing. Effective 01.07.2025, daily rates range from €106.95 (Pflegegrad 2) to €149.39 (Pflegegrad 5), with a consistent resident Eigenanteil of approximately €2,448/month after Pflegekasse contributions of €805-€2,096/month depending on care grade. Additional §43c SGB XI subsidies reduce the resident contribution based on length of stay. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: prospective residents and families initiate contact by phone or email, tour the facility, and coordinate admission directly, with referrals channeled through local hospitals and social services in the Harz region.

The technology stack is conventional senior care infrastructure (barrier-free access, modern nursing baths, room-level telephone/TV) with no proprietary software, no AI capabilities, and no public API. The facility's primary differentiators are its 800+ year institutional heritage, its MDK inspection grade of 1.3 and resident satisfaction score of 1.0 (both 2019), and its BIVA e.V. consumer-friendly designation. The foundation is governed by a Board chaired by Klaus Münchhoff, with operational leadership under Einrichtungsleitung Solveig Gera and Pflegedienstleitung Kerstin Blumentritt-Alten. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the entity has no parent company, subsidiaries, or external funding.
