history
The "Society for Services in Old Age" was founded in Hanover on January 1st, 1971 as the Association of German Elderly Aid in the form of a non-profit company with limited liability. The service center is located in Hanover.
Immediately after the GDA was founded, the foundation stone was laid for the first three residential buildings in Trippstadt , Neustadt an der Weinstrasse and Göttingen , where the first residents moved in in 1971. Six years later, two more houses followed in Hanover, and in 1983 the first senior citizens moved into the Wiesbaden monastery. Finally, the GDA opened another residential home in Hanover in 1989 and in Frankfurt am Main in 1992 . In 2004 the company took over an already existing senior citizens' residence in Goslar as its sponsor. On January 1, 2012, the facility "Domizil am Schlosspark" (until the beginning of 2014: Living am Schlosspark), Bad Homburg, became the property of GDA. This is an assisted living offer. On April 1, 2013, GDA took over the sponsorship of the Rind'schen Bürgerstift, also located in Bad Homburg. The Rind'sche Bürgerstift combines a nursing home, assisted living and an in-house outpatient care service that also looks after external customers under one roof.
The non-profit GDA foundation, established on January 29, 2014, was recognized on February 11, 2014 by the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior and Sport. The foundation helps older people who find themselves in an economic emergency through no fault of their own. It is particularly important that these people can remain in their usual living environment and are not forced to leave their usual home.
organization
GDA shareholders are the German Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband , the non-profit foundation Parität based in Saarbrücken (formerly: the Paritätische Landesverband Rheinland-Pfalz / Saarland eV) as well as the regional associations of the Paritätischen in Lower Saxony and Hesse . Birgit Eckhardt has been the chairwoman of the seven-member supervisory board of the GDA since December 2014, and the chairwoman of the Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband Niedersachsen eV Managing director of the GDA is Holger Horrmann.
concept
The facilities are designed so that the residents can live independently in their own apartment for as long as possible. There are courses and events that aim to maintain and promote age-appropriate physical fitness and mental freshness. The GDA has one, two or three-room apartments. These apartments are equipped with their own bathroom and an integrated kitchen and are individually furnished by the residents. In addition, there are extensive common rooms such as a ballroom, library or club rooms for a wide variety of activities, complemented by swimming pools and saunas. Services such as hairdresser, kiosk, bank branch or physiotherapy complete the infrastructure.
Wohnstift-Wohnen includes various services. This includes the lunch menu, the cleaning of the apartments and the range of courses and events. In addition to these standards, additional services such as breakfast and dinner service, room service, caretaker and housekeeping services can be booked.
Every resident can be elected to the resident council of a house.
The in-house outpatient care service takes care of the residents when they need care; the residents usually stay in their home. In addition, residential care areas are connected to most of the pens, in which residents can be cared for as inpatients according to a specially developed, activating care concept. There are special day care and housing options for residents with dementia .
