Evangelische Dienste Duisburg

What Evangelische Dienste Duisburg does

Evangelische Dienste Duisburg (EDD) is a non-profit diakonal care provider (gGmbH) operating under the Protestant church's Diakonie umbrella in Duisburg, Germany, with a secondary presence in Krefeld, Bonn, and Pillgram (Brandenburg). Formed in 2023 as a Verbund combining Ev. Christophoruswerk e.V. and Evangelische Altenhilfe Duisburg gGmbH, EDD employs 2,650+ staff and is the largest employer in Duisburg's social-care sector. The organization runs 17 stationary care facilities (1,587 inpatient places), 3 day-care centers, ambulatory home-care for 1,100+ clients across Duisburg, 285 senior-friendly service apartments, disability housing (67 places), shared living communities (45 places), a women's shelter serving ~100 women and 120 children annually, 4 dementia cafés, 5 community/counseling centers, and an ambulatory hospice service.

EDD's service portfolio is structured across three pillars: Pflegen (stationary, ambulatory, short-term, day, and specialized care for dementia, blindness, challenging behavior, and young care recipients), Betreuen (disability services including Ambulant Betreutes Wohnen, Assistenzdienste, Integrationshilfe, and Trainingswohnen), and Begleiten (counseling across nursing, dementia, senior, and §132g SGB V advance-care planning, plus hospice). The educare subsidiary operates a nursing and curative-education training school with ~140 students. The technology stack is commodity: WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for the web shop, Matomo analytics, and Borlabs cookie consent; there are no proprietary AI, ML, or platform systems — only an internal Loga3 employee portal and intranet.

EDD's revenue is overwhelmingly derived from German statutory long-term care insurance (Gesetzliche Pflegeversicherung) and social-assistance funding (Sozialhilfe), supplemented by monthly service charges for Wohnen mit Service apartments and individual/corporate donations (notably Lions-Club Duisburg-Landschaftspark). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set by insurance and social-services authorities based on care levels (Pflegestufe). Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: residents and families are referred via the Diakonie/Protestant church network, community events, health fairs, and the organization's web presence (edd.de, Facebook, YouTube). Eleven wholly-owned operating subsidiaries (Christophoruswerk Betriebsgesellschaft, Ev. Altenhilfe Betriebsgesellschaft, Die Ev. Sozialstationen, educare, Amalie Sieveking Gesellschaft, Amalie unterwegs, Ev. Pflegeheim Pillgram, Frauenhaus Duisburg, Logicon, Paricon, WIDAP) sit beneath the holding structure.
