The Fuest Familienstiftung is a non-profit foundation specializing in the operation of rehabilitation clinics and senior citizen facilities. It was founded in 2010 by the married couple Franz and Hilde Fuest to secure the family management of the facilities in the long term.
The Fuest Familienstiftung places great emphasis on people-oriented leadership and emphasizes the importance of diaconal values. The goal is for patients and residents to feel comfortable and well cared for. The facilities are characterized by modern architectural concepts that take into account the needs of the users[1][5].
Although specific sustainability goals are not explicitly mentioned, the foundation values long-term security and stability through family management. This ensures the independence of the company and prevents a sale to larger healthcare corporations, which ensures the continuity of care[5]. In addition, the Hilde-Fuest-Stiftung supports local sports clubs to promote the sporting activities of children and young people[5].
With its comprehensive medical and nursing services, the Fuest Familienstiftung plays an important role in the German healthcare system. With over 1,000 employees, around 10,000 patients and people in need of care are cared for every year, which underlines the importance of the company for society[1][3].
