St.-Laurentius-Stift

What St.-Laurentius-Stift does

St.-Laurentius-Stift is a Catholic elderly care facility located on the Berkel river in a residential area of Coesfeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, operating since 1998 under Christophorus-Altenhilfe GmbH, a non-profit subsidiary of Christophorus Trägergesellschaft. The facility provides 24-hour stationary residential care (Vollstationäre Pflege) across 94 beds and short-term/respite care (Kurzzeitpflege) across 20 beds, organized into three Wohnbereiche (Berkelaue, Lindenallee, Rosengarten) of 38 single rooms each, with rooms of approximately 22 sqm and private bathrooms. Core revenue derives from statutory German long-term care insurance (Pflegeversicherung) reimbursements tied to Pflegegrade classification plus resident co-payments, supplemented by ancillary services including on-site hairdresser, medical pedicure, and the Café Kaffeepott operating two days weekly.

The facility operates under a Bezugspflegesystem (reference care model) ensuring continuous caregiver-resident relationships, and layers a structured social and therapeutic services department delivering Motomed cycling, Snoezelen, memory training, music therapy, and animal-assisted therapy. A distinct digitalization program ("miteinander digital") deploys VR glasses, De Beleef TV, robot companions Kathi and Laurenz, and the Heddier Aktivtisch (55-inch interactive display with 80+ apps) for resident engagement, supplemented by chaplaincy and end-of-life pastoral care delivered jointly with Anna-Katharina Gemeinde. Approximately 60+ volunteers support operations across pastoral, café, and activity functions, creating a community-anchored service model.

Go-to-market is enterprise-style direct admissions: phone inquiries convert to Pflegeberatung (care consulting), documentation is prepared by administrative staff, and short-term care referrals flow from local hospitals and the VICA Die ambulante Pflege partner network. Marketing relies on community events (Tag der offenen Tür, Meet-Pflege recruitment events, seasonal celebrations), Facebook organic social, the Christophorus Gruppe newsletter infrastructure, and church/parish referral networks. The organization also participates in nursing apprenticeship programs (~200 apprentices trained annually across the Christophorus Gruppe in 13 professions) and runs above-market compensation to address NRW nursing labor scarcity.
