The Saarländische Schwesternverband e.V., founded in 1958 at the Evangelischen Fliedner-Krankenhaus in Neunkirchen, has developed into a modern, non-profit social enterprise. With around 4,000 employees at over 60 locations in five federal states – Saarland, Pfalz, Eifel, Südbaden, Main-Tauber and Dessau-Roßlau – it cares for, supports and promotes senior citizens and people with disabilities on an outpatient and inpatient basis.[1][2]
The portfolio includes full inpatient long-term care, outpatient care, day care and . Multifunctional teams of nurses, physiotherapists, carers and trainees ensure individually tailored care. The association's own ensures continuous further training, so that all services meet the current industry standard.[1][2]
Through subsidiaries such as Schwesternverband Service GmbH (housekeeping, cleaning, catering), outpatient care services and care facilities in Dessau-Roßlau, a broad spectrum is covered – from inpatient facilities to services for private households.[4]
According to its mission statement, the Schwesternverband enables self-determined living for elderly, sick and disabled people. As a non-denominational organization, it remains committed to the Christian image of humanity: Every person has dignity regardless of abilities; personality and development opportunities are the focus. Personal, loving interaction characterizes all areas – offers are based on individual needs, not on profit-seeking.[1][2]
Over 3,800 employees work in an environment that makes family and career compatible. Flexible models take into account life phases, childcare and care for relatives in order to be considered an attractive employer.[2]
The association focuses on cost efficiency and resilience, as the 2023/2024 annual report shows: Measures such as securing liquidity, reducing costs and reducing investment helped to overcome challenges. Projects such as the "Kraftakt" stabilize positive trends.[5] In its 65th anniversary year (2023), it looks back proudly on innovations, from the founding of the nursing school to modern facilities.[3]
Despite economic storms – such as giving up unprofitable areas such as mobile lunch tables – the focus remains on quality and people.[5][6] Current additions such as new service managers strengthen leadership in housekeeping and hygiene.[6]
The Schwesternverband embodies social responsibility: It combines tradition with modernity to enable a dignified life. With passion and expertise, it sets standards in the care industry.[1][2][3]
