Pflege 2030
The nursing home of the future
Pflege 2030 Practical Handbook published
To mark the completion of the "Care 2030" pilot project, the Korian Foundation for Care and Dignified Aging is publishing a comprehensive practical handbook that provides care facilities with insights gained from the project. For over three years, the Korian Haus Karlsfeld care facility in the Dachau district tested under real-world conditions how innovative technologies and organizational development can make inpatient care sustainable for the future. "Care 2030" was funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Health, Care and Prevention. Cooperation partners included Korian Deutschland GmbH, the University of Bremen, and the Fraunhofer Institute IIS, Erlangen-Nuremberg.

This is the focus of the "Pflege 2030" project. Given the significant need for action in inpatient long-term care, the Korian care facility Haus Curanum in Karlsfeld has been designated a model for needs-based care in real-world operation, both in terms of quantity and quality. The facility's equipment has been expanded with digital care technology, and staffing levels have been researched and optimized. All of this is aimed at ensuring a dignified aging experience in inpatient care.
The aim was to comprehensively evaluate the entire project in terms of the quality of care and to create modular guidelines that other institutions can use as a blueprint for similar implementation.
On December 19, 2022, the project was officially opened on site by Klaus Holetschek, Bavarian State Minister for Health and Care.
