The focus of the facility is the care and rehabilitation of people with mental illnesses from all over Germany and partly from German-speaking countries.

concept
The facility offers a wide range of care for mentally ill people. As a rule, admission takes place in people who have previously undergone acute clinical treatment. Mainly children, adolescents and young adults with existing or threatened mental disabilities are accepted. After intensive diagnostics , an individual treatment plan is drawn up . This can include the following areas:
- Visit to the sponsor's own Martin Luther School or the internal work training area,
- Social learning through pedagogically and therapeutically accompanied living in a tiered living concept,
- Therapy as psychotherapy, riding therapy, occupational therapy, sports therapy and moto pedagogy.
In some cases special educational support measures can be carried out. To this end, the facility works closely with regional psychiatric clinics .
