Resumo: The Residential Home is an officially recognized retirement home.
The retirment home offers 22 twin and 22 single room appartments for inpatient care and assisted living. One place is reserved for short-term care.
On workdays from 8:00 h to 16:00 h offers in addition geriatric day care for senior citizens from the town and its surroundings. In a special department the clients get a suitable therapeutical assistance and support. Relatives and honorary collaborators have the opportunity to contribute to these activities.
A sheltered housing estate for the Elderly, situated in close neighbourhood of the Residential Home, offers autonomous living in particular appartments without abandoning the nursing system in case of necessity. The Residential Home provides social services and ensures emergency care. The technical service handles caretaking.
The care of the elderly in the Residential Home is performed on a holistic basis, which consider latest findings in the domain of nursery, medical and social care. The individual needs of the elderly are taken into consideration by full collaboration of relatives, physicians and nursing staff. Thereby basic care, therapy and social work complement one another.
Experiences and activities in volunteering/training
For many years the organization offers the following options for young people:
- recognised place of assignement for the german FSJ (gap year to do voluntary work in the
social sector) in cooperation with the Diakonisches Werk Baden
- vocational training company for care of the elderly and domestic economy
- cooperation with local schools as place for social learning
- since 2014 participation in the national recruitment program MoBiProEU

Perfil: Volunteers should have an interest in, and willingness to work with older and partly gerontopsychiatric disordered people. It's necessary for volunteers to be sociable and outgoing, to have enthusiasm, and to be open to foreign cultures. They should be able to interact well with groups of people. An enthusiastic, responsible and flexible attitude towards the work is important.
Volunteers should be willing to learn new skills and share own experince with others, be able to work as a team and contribute to the process and be open to new ideas and be flexible to work in a variety of settings. Language learning should not be the first or only motivation to make a voluntary service in this project. A basic knowledge of german language would be helpful. Since the project is situated in a small town, the volunteer must be fully aware of the geographical and social implication of the projects location.
Age: 17-30

Tarefas: Volunteers will be mainly employed in the social care department.
Volunteers will work alongside qualified staff members as a supernumerary assistant and will be
actively involved in the development of the day program of occupational therapy. The assignment
of the volunteers will be fixed by prior consultation with staff members.

Volunteers could develop their own ideas for new games, activities or stories into a personal
project if they so wished - creative ideas are always welcome. The remaining of volunteers time will
be spent in helping with other aspects of work at the centre - assisting with serving meals to the
elderly, cleaning and preparing equipment, planning activities and courses.
Volunteers are expected to accomplish a fulltime voluntary service of 35 hours per week. Overtime doing will be balanced by additional freetime.
The volunteer will also be required to attend team meetings to report and co-ordinate resources.
