Voices from the field

Elisabeth Scharfenberg

Board member of the Korian Foundation for care and dignified aging
  • We are very pleased about the launch of “Pflege 2030” at the Korian facility in Karlsfeld.

    Over these three years, supported by scientific guidance, a modernized care concept can be implemented that sustainably relieves the daily workload of caregivers and supports them in their routines, thus also benefiting those in need of care.

Remi Boyer

CEO of Korian Deutschland AG
  • The Pflege 2030 project includes many promising trends that are being tested in real-time operation.

    The staff at Curanum Karlsfeld are heavily involved in the process and decide on the technology to be used. The ultimate goal is to make the employees' working lives easier while simultaneously increasing staff availability and improving services for residents.

Holger Jantsch

Management of the Curanum Karlsfeld facility
  • We are delighted that Haus Curanum in Karlsfeld is part of this exciting project, Pflege 2030.

    Our employees are highly motivated and eager to actively shape the future of nursing care.

Klaus Holetschek

Bavarian State Minister for Health and Care
  • Improving nursing care in Germany is a key issue for the future.

    This includes both dignified care for people in need of care and improvements to the nursing profession. For us at the Bavarian State Ministry of Health and Care, the "Care 2030" project is therefore groundbreaking. We hope it will yield lasting insights for long-term improvements in inpatient care in Bavaria and beyond.

Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang

University of Bremen
The goal of “Pflege 2030” is to implement improved processes in everyday care that will improve both the quality of life of nursing home residents and the job satisfaction of nursing staff.

Dr. Thomas Wittenberg

Private lecturer at the Fraunhofer Institute IIS, Erlangen
The development, implementation and integration of new processes and 'smarter' technologies to relieve the burden on nursing staff pose equally high challenges for their developers and users.
