Welcome to the Korian Foundation


Working with the Korian Foundation for Care and Aging with Dignity, KORIAN Germany extends its social commitment and ensures high-quality care and aging with dignity.

Good working conditions for carers are an essential prerequiste for guaranteeing a good life for the elderly.

Founded in 2020, the non-profit Korian Foundation for Care and Aging with Dignity aims to support innovative projects and initiatives in the field of care for the elderly and in the health care sector in general. In addition to promoting research in nursing, geriatrics and medicine, this also includes the training and further education of care professionals.


The foundation's work initially focuses primarily on care workers. Improving their working conditions and the reputation of the care sector as a whole are central concerns of the foundation. In this way, those in need of care are also taken into consideration. Dignity, recognition and respect for all sides - that is the foundation's holistic motto.
