TAURUS Pflegeservice

What TAURUS Pflegeservice does

TAURUS Pflegeservice GmbH is a Hannover-region (Germany) healthcare services provider founded in 2003 that specializes in outpatient intensive nursing care for severely ill and disabled individuals. The company delivers 1:1 intensive care — including ventilation, wound and pain management — in patients' own homes, and operates a supported living community called "my-WG" in northern Hannover comprising nine single apartments (35–39 sqm each) with 24/7 on-site qualified nursing staff. Additional services include assistance for people with disabilities in overcoming architectural and bureaucratic barriers, and a separate wound/pain practice (wundpraxis-hannover.de). Revenue is generated primarily through German statutory long-term care insurance (Pflegeversicherung) and related co-payments, delivered on a direct-to-consumer basis in the Hannover area.

Beyond direct care, TAURUS runs an integrated talent and training pipeline. The Taurus Akademie prepares internationally trained nurses for the German knowledge examination (Kenntnisprüfung), while the in-house Pflegelernort nursing school trains Pflegefachfrau/-mann candidates — with a fifth cohort starting August 2025 covering 130+ students from many countries. A dedicated Internationales Recruiting division places nurses, physiotherapists, lab technicians and pharmacists sourced from South-East Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, India), Latin America (Brazil, Colombia), the Maghreb and the Balkans, supported by university partnerships in Brazil and Colombia that integrate German language training into local nursing curricula.

The business is founder-managed by two Managing Directors, Carsten Knigge and Qefsere Rexhepi, and operates with approximately 150 employees across care, academy, recruiting and school divisions. Operations are based in Hemmingen near Hannover, with a second site at the my-WG location in northern Hannover; the company uses standard German care management software (MediFox Connect) and has roots in the "Selbstbestimmt Leben" (Independent Living) disability rights movement. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or public listings are disclosed; the entity is a privately held GmbH registered in Hannover (HRB 204153).
