DRK Pflegeheim

What DRK Pflegeheim does

DRK Pflegeheim is the public-facing name under which DRK Kreisverband Chemnitzer Umland e.V. operates its healthcare and welfare services. The organization is a registered non-profit association (eingetragener Verein) founded in 1990, headquartered in Chemnitz, Saxony, and operating under the umbrella of the Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (German Red Cross). It delivers a diversified social welfare portfolio across the Chemnitz surrounding area, combining volunteer and professional staff.

Core operations span stationary nursing care (Pflegeheim Am Taurastein and Pflegeheim Limbach-Oberfrohna), ambulatory nursing care (Sozialstation Limbach-Oberfrohna), assisted living (Betreutes Wohnen Taura), and a broad community services offering that includes first aid training courses, blood donation drives, clothing banks (Kleiderkammern), transportation services (Fahrdienst) for mobility-limited individuals, youth programs (Club 95, Jugendtreff Oberlichtenau, Jugendrotkreuz), and volunteer-based emergency response (Bereitschaften, SEG, Wasserwacht). The organization explicitly combines ehrenamtlich (voluntary) and hauptamtlich (professional) work across these service lines.

Revenue mechanics come from three streams disclosed in the source: care services payments routed through the German Pflegeversicherung (long-term care insurance) system and private payors; recurring Fördermitglied (supporting member) contributions; and one-off first aid course fees (basic, Führerschein, pediatric, and corporate training). Pricing for care services is regulated; member contribution amounts are self-determined by members. No revenue figures, financials, or capital structure details are publicly disclosed.
