Curanum Hameln closes: nursing staff and residents cope with the move!
An era is coming to an end at Curanum Hameln. The nursing service manager Daniel Altendorf recently spoke with the Dewezet talked about the current situation in the facility, which will be closing due to changes in the care sector. The Kümmerer portal described him as the “good soul of the company”, and that hits the nail on the head: Altendorf is visibly proud of his team, which has taken on new tasks despite the impending closure.
Most of the 53 residents have already found their new homes. There are currently only nine older people living in Curanum who will be moving in the course of August. The team managed to accommodate almost everyone in other facilities in Hameln-Pyrmont. Some residents moved to homes further away of their own accord to be closer to their relatives. Interestingly, many friendships among the residents have lasted beyond the move, and some groups continue to meet for their “coffee rounds” in the senior residence at Stift in Fischbeck.
Team and support
The relocation of residents also meant that nursing staff had to be reoriented. Altendorf reported that many of the employees have already found new jobs, with an entire team moving to another care facility together. The low fluctuation in nursing staff is one of Curanum's strengths Korian website highlights. Here, the focus is on people, which enables individual care from qualified therapists.
What actually makes Curanum so special? In addition to a daily presence of employees, the home also offers numerous additional facilities such as a wine bar, a swimming pool and a small café. The care also includes important aspects such as palliative care, support with everyday tasks and medical care from specialists. Even occupational therapy is offered to activate residents' physical and mental abilities.
The future of the nursing sector
The closure of Curanum is part of a larger trend in the care market. Like an analysis Care market shows that the industry has developed dynamically again after quiet years of insolvency. Market-leading companies such as Alloheim and Korian Deutschland have adapted their portfolios and while some facilities are closing, new nursing homes are opening at the same time.
It remains to be seen how the care sector will develop in the future, but one thing is certain: the good soul of Curanum and its team are leaving a lasting impression in Hameln-Pyrmont. Daniel Altendorf invites anyone interested to speak to him personally to get their own impression of the current situation. After all, it's not just about numbers and statistics, but about the people who live and work in these institutions.
