Charity Organization, Caritas, Allocates €50 Million Towards the Renovation of Nursing Homes in Offenbach
St. Ludwig Nursing Home in Offenbach to Undergo Replacement and Expansion
The St. Ludwig Nursing Home in Offenbach, Germany, is set for a significant transformation, with plans to close the current facility by the end of 2025 and replace it with a new building by the end of 2029.
At present, there is limited publicly available information regarding the specific features and construction timeline of the new nursing home. However, it is known that the new building will offer exclusively single rooms, a marked improvement from the current 72 predominantly shared places.
The new facility will also accommodate 36 additional places for "Pflegewohnen Plus," where ambulatory care is provided in individual apartments. Furthermore, it will include a new day and night care facility with 16 places open to external guests.
The comfort of the residents will be a priority, with the new building designed to provide a higher level of comfort. Those who have moved from St. Ludwig will be given priority for the first occupancy of the new building.
During the construction period, the current residents will be temporarily housed in the new Caritas nursing home "Haus Anna" in Heusenstamm.
In addition to the nursing home facilities, the new building will house a kindergarten with four groups, a publicly accessible café, and staff apartments. The project is expected to cost around 50 million euros.
To cater to the parking needs, a new underground garage will be built to improve the parking situation on the site. The existing "Garden of Generations" will remain and continue to serve as a meeting place between young and old.
Construction of the replacement building is planned to start at the end of 2026, with a construction time of two to three years.

What new facilities will the expanded St. Ludwig Nursing Home in Offenbach offer? The new building will encompass a science-based health-and-wellness approach, featuring Pflegewohnen Plus, a day and night care facility, and a kindergarten.
