Lahr, Spital - Wohnen und Pflege, Gebäude

The facility

The hospital – Wohnen und Pflege is an inpatient care facility that is run by the Hospital- und Armenfonds Lahr, a foundation under public law.

The home is centrally located in the heart of the town of Lahr, right next to the Storchenturm, the town's landmark, and the pedestrian zone. It offers a home for 80 residents in a family atmosphere.

The guiding principle of work with the elderly in Lahr is "Living and living in old age - preferably at home!". However, not everyone is able to live out their old age in their own home. The need for care and support often overwhelm families. More and more elderly people are also living alone, without relatives nearby. For this reason, the town of Lahr sees it as a municipal responsibility to implement the foundation concept in a currently appropriate form and to operate facilities to help the elderly in order to ensure that they can grow old with dignity.

As a municipal facility, the hospital is ideologically and religiously neutral and thus ensures that all users can live according to their own values.
