Care Champions

Enabling refugees to start a career in the care sector

As a cooperation partner in the "Care Champions" program, the Korian Foundation supports socialbee gGmbH, which trains refugees to become care assistants: Participating companies enable the refugees to start their care careers directly and thus cover their staff requirements at the same time. A new concept that successfully combines the important issues of integration and the nursing shortage in Germany and therefore offers a solution to the current social problem.

Digital support for your own health

"Digi Health BGM" ist an app for employees in the care sector developed by the Korian Foundation together with DigiRehab GmbH, the health insurance company mkk - meine krankenkasse and Korian Germany.

Gewaltfrei stärken

Violence in the care sector – a taboo subject

Violence in the care sector is a taboo subject. It is not always clearly recognizable as bodily harm. Where does violence begin? Who inflicts it on whom? And how can awareness of this topic be increased? These and other questions are addressed in the workshop format "Gewaltfrei stärken" by the Korian Foundation.

The "Gewaltfrei stärken" workshops are free of charge. Teams or nursing homes (no individuals) can apply at info@korian-stiftung.de

Pflege2030

The nursing home of the future

What should a nursing home of the future look like? This is the focus of the "Pflege2030" project. In view of the great need for action in inpatient long-term care, the Curanum nursing home in Karlsfeld, Bavaria, will be a testing facility for the care of the future. The facility's equipment will be expanded with digital care technology and staffing levels will be researched and optimized. All of this in order to make ageing in nursing homes a dignified experience.

Our project partners

For the "Pflege2030" pilot project, the Korian Foundation and Korian Deutschland GmbH are working together with the University of Bremen (Prof. Heinz Rothgang) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS. The three-year project is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Health, Care and Prevention.

Mission Abschied

A workshop on dying, death, and grief in care facilities
