Die Gesellschaft für diakonische Einrichtungen in Hessen und Nassau mbH (GFDE) is a significant diaconal provider of the Evangelische Kirche in Hessen und Nassau (EKHN) with almost 50 years of experience in senior care. With around 2,000 employees at 25 locations, the GFDE offers a comprehensive range of services, including inpatient and outpatient care, service living, day care and outpatient hospice service. As a result, it pursues the goal of offering care from a single source and enabling people to have a safe, secure and self-determined home in old age[2][3].
The main mission of the GFDE is based on Christian values, high professional competence and loving care, which creates space for warm encounters and a family atmosphere. As a diaconal provider, it attaches particular importance to social responsibility, trust and appreciation, both in dealing with people in need of care and with its employees[2][3]. The GFDE wants to improve care and at the same time offer its employees attractive working conditions, company pension schemes as well as further training and career opportunities[2][6].
Sustainability and quality are central to the GFDE: It is committed to high-quality care, which is regularly documented transparently through external audits. Christian ethics and social sustainability shape the actions of all facilities in the sense of holistic care with dignity, respect and sustainable support for older people[2][3].
Historically, the GFDE emerged from the Evangelischen Hilfswerk after the Second World War with a focus on diaconal aid for the wounded and persecuted. Today it is one of the largest diaconal legal entities of the EKHN and is predominantly supported by church shareholders[3][5].
Overall, the Gesellschaft für diakonische Einrichtungen presents itself as a reliable partner in senior care, which impresses with professional care concepts, Christian values and social sustainability and plays a leading role in the Hessen and Nassau region.
