🏢 About the local organisation

L’EHPAD (Etablissement d’hébergement pour personnes âgées dépendantes) Emmaüs-Diaconesses Koenigshoffen, appartient à l'association de gestion « Emmaüs-Diaconesses » (association à but non lucratif créée en 1998). Il a été construit en 1962 et a été entièrement rénové en 2000. Le but de l’EHPAD Emmaüs-Diaconesses Koenigshoffen est d’accueillir, seule ou en couple, toute personne de plus de 60 ans, qu’elle soit valide, faiblement dépendante ou très dépendante. L’ensemble du travail de notre personnel qualifié est centré autour de la meilleure prise en charge possible de la personne âgée, pour créer un lieu de vie adapté pour chaque résident accueilli, quelque soit sa dépendance physique ou psychique. Nous souhaitons que chacun de nos résidents se sente « chez soi » mais puisse se sentir aussi bien « chez nous », dans une ambiance familiale. L’accueil, l’accompagnement, le respect, le dialogue et l’écoute sont les valeurs premières de notre éthique. Les capacités d’accueil sont, à ce jour: - 99 lits + 4 lits temporaires pour la maison de retraite - 36 lits pour l'unité de soins de longue durée - de 12 places pour l'unité Alzeimer (le « Home ») - 17 appartements, répartis en quatre F2, treize F1, pouvant accueillir 21 personnes dans le foyer-logement.
