Kinderintensivpflegedienst Gänseblümchen

What Kinderintensivpflegedienst Gänseblümchen does

Kinderintensivpflegedienst Gänseblümchen GmbH is a Berlin-based home pediatric intensive care provider founded in 2009. The company delivers 1:1 in-home intensive nursing care to seriously ill children and adolescents across Germany, with an operational base in Berlin. Services go beyond clinical care to include accompaniment through kindergarten, school, excursions, and vacations, plus family counseling on care, finance, and legal matters. The stated mission is to enable medically complex children to live at home with their families rather than in hospital settings, and the company explicitly positions care delivery around slowness, presence ("Da sein"), and a 1:1 caregiver-per-child model without route planning.

The business operates as a German GmbH (private limited company) under managing director Dr. Alexander Schwandt, with approximately 7 office staff coordinating a clinical workforce of around 80 nurses and caregivers. The core product is the "Häusliche Kinderintensivpflege" service, supplemented by the Bärenschule sub-brand for kindergarten and school accompaniment and an internal employee portal for staff management. The company is a partner of the opseo-Gruppe, a network of intensive care providers, through which it accesses structural and strategic support, shared guiding principles, and integration with adjacent pediatric and intensive home care services.

Revenue is generated through managed services contracts reimbursed via German statutory and private health insurance frameworks; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led and primarily recruiting-driven: the company sources licensed pediatric nurses (Kinderkrankenschwester, Pflegefachfrau/mann, Pflegefachhelfer, Heilerziehungspfleger, etc.) through its website, social channels, and direct inquiry forms, and delivers services directly in patients' homes. There is no paid advertising, no content marketing beyond the website, and no intermediary distribution. The technology stack is operational — digital staff training tools and internal coordination systems — with no AI/ML components, public APIs, or proprietary software products documented.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• Medipflege 24: German home intensive care provider with regional concentration. Comparable as a 1:1 in-home intensive nursing competitor targeting medically complex and ventilated patients within the same statutory reimbursement framework.
• Cura Vital / cura vitae: Mid-sized German providers of intensive and respiratory home care with regional footprints. Comparable because they focus on technology-dependent home patients and overlap with Gänseblümchen in specialized nurse recruitment and family-caregiver models.

Direct peers

• Bonitas Holding: German group operating multiple home intensive care and nursing services brands across regions. Comparable because it runs 1:1 in-home intensive nursing for medically complex patients, including pediatric cases, under similar German statutory reimbursement frameworks.
• Deutsche Fachpflege Holding: One of Germany's largest providers of intensive home care and respiratory therapy nursing, with a broad regional footprint. Comparable because it provides 24/7 home intensive nursing for technology-dependent patients and competes for the same specialized nursing pool.
• Promedica Pflegegruppe: German home care group with intensive care and pediatric care services across multiple states. Comparable because it delivers in-home skilled nursing for seriously ill patients and operates within the same statutory reimbursement system.
• opseo Intensivpflege: Direct partner organization in the opseo-Gruppe network operating home-based intensive care services across Germany. Closely comparable because Gänseblümchen is a named pediatric unit within the same network and shares the group's Leitbild, billing and statutory insurer relationships.

Broad incumbents

• Caritas Pflege & Gesundheit: Germany's largest confessional welfare operator with nationwide ambulatory and intensive home care services. Comparable because it delivers skilled home nursing for complex patients and competes for the same statutory reimbursement and caregiver pools.
• Evangelische Heimstiftung / Diakonie home care services: Large nonprofit and confessional home care operators in Germany offering ambulatory and intensive nursing across regions. Comparable as in-home skilled nursing competitors, particularly for cross-subsidized pediatric and complex care cases.
• Home Instead (Germany): International home care franchise operating in Germany with broad elderly and family caregiving services. Comparable as a competing in-home personal care brand, but does not specialize in pediatric intensive care and serves a different acuity segment.
• Arbeiterwohlfahrt (AWO) Ambulante Pflege: Major German welfare organization operating outpatient nursing and family support services nationally. Comparable as a regional in-home care provider with pediatric and complex care offerings, though broader in scope and partially publicly funded.
