📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The Johannes Brenz Altenpflege gGmbH is a modern service company with tradition and is based in Wolfach. We have been offering support to senior citizens and their relatives in personally difficult situations for decades. In doing so, we are guided by the Christian principles of diakonia.
Johannes Brenz Altenpflege gGmbH is committed to senior-friendly living and is dedicated to caring for those in need of care. Our services include assisted living, outpatient care at home, day care, short-term care and meals on wheels.
As of 01.10.2023, our facility will have 60 fully inpatient places. In order to maintain or enable the greatest possible independence for the residents of our nursing home, activation is incorporated to a large extent in every activity, task and measure performed on the resident. The focus of our efforts is to individually challenge and guide the resident according to his or her resources, without overtaxing him or her.
In close cooperation between nursing staff, doctors, physiotherapists and massage therapists, a treatment and care plan is drawn up for our residents.
The Brenzheim is home to elderly people with various physical limitations and/or neurological and mental illnesses, such as Alzheimer's, apoplexy, depression, mania, dementia, confusion, HOPS, etc. The daily routines are geared to the needs of the residents. The daily routines are geared to the needs of the residents.
💼 What the programme involves
The Johannes Brenz care home for old people is in the city of Wolfach. The supporter of this institution is the Johannes Brenz Altenpflege gGmbH. This is a legally independent public charity; it is not for profit. The care and support of residents in the old-age care home is organized by an all-inclusive (mind and body) programme. The newest knowledge is used in the areas of nursing care, medicine, and social aspects. Meeting the individual needs of the residents is a team effort. The residents, family members, doctors and the care specialists all work together. Basic care, treatment care, and social care are all focused on the resident. The nursing specialists work together with social care workers to help the residents. This makes all-inclusive care possible. The use of European Volunteers is mainly for the social care and daytime support of the residents. Volunteers can co-design the daily programme. They are supported by the nursing support staff.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers get a single room at the institution or in a separate home nearby. Volunteers get their meals for free at the Brenzheim. Volunteers get a language training from a qualified and state recognized language teacher. Participants get the Deutschlandticket, a monthly ticket for public transportation which is valid in all means of public transportation (except high speed trains) all over Germany.
🎒 Leisure activities
To decrease problems from the start, volunteers go to important introduction seminars where they'll receive information about the institution and their duties.
There is continuous professional support for the volunteers. One example of support is regular reflection talks. A neutral person from outside of the core group will lead these talks.
Apart from the compulsory ESC training cycle provided by the National Agency there is also weekly language training at the local adult education center.
Volunteers get the opportunity to visit regional education and recruting fairs.
