What IN VIA Katholische Mädchensozialarbeit e. V. does

IN VIA Katholische Mädchensozialarbeit e. V., legally registered as IN VIA Katholischer Verband für Mädchen- und Frauensozialarbeit Düsseldorf e. V., is a non-profit registered association (e.V.) founded in 1895 and headquartered at Schlossallee 2, Düsseldorf-Eller, Germany. The organization operates three primary service lines: (1) Luisenheim, an Alten- und Pflegeheim (elderly and nursing home) with 154 residential places (114 single rooms, 20 double rooms across four floors) built in 1980/1983; (2) Schulsozialarbeit (school social work) delivered at three Düsseldorf partner schools — Alfred-Herrhausen-Schule (Holthausen and Vennhausen) and Adolf-Klarenbach-Schule; and (3) the Bahnhofsmission at Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof, an ecumenical service jointly operated with Diakonie Düsseldorf since 1902 that provides free counseling and crisis support to travelers and people in distress.

The organization generates revenue through three channels: nursing home fees (Pflegesätze) ranging from €141.63 to €203.93 per day depending on Pflegegrad (care level 1–5), partially covered by long-term care insurance (Pflegekassen) and social assistance (Sozialhilfeträger); municipal funding for school social work as part of youth welfare programs; and ecclesiastical/charitable funding for the Bahnhofsmission. Pricing is publicly disclosed on the Luisenheim website, with the organization explicitly stating no loans, advance payments, or property acquisition fees are required from residents. The underlying technology stack is conventional social care delivery supplemented by an innovative VR glasses project (launched in cooperation with DiCV Köln as part of the German Caritas 'Sozial braucht digital' campaign) that allows residents with mobility limitations to experience virtual environments through head-mounted displays with head-tracking and audio support. The organization is part of the broader IN VIA federation, which operates at over 70 locations across Germany, though the local Düsseldorf entity is the unit being analyzed.
