We care for and look after people with chronic psychiatric and gerontopsychiatric illnesses, addictive disorders and mental disabilities. The aim of our work is to provide all residents with the greatest possible quality of life, to promote and maintain their independence. In addition, our residents learn to cope with their limitations and to lead a self-determined life. The care center is a place to live where people should feel at home.
The LWL at a glance:
The Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe (LWL) works as a municipal association with more than 19,000 employees for the 8.3 million people in the region. The LWL operates 35 special schools, 21 hospitals, 18 museums, two visitor centers and is one of the largest German aid payers for people with disabilities. It thus fulfills tasks in the social sector, in care for the disabled and young people, in psychiatry and in culture, which are sensibly carried out throughout Westphalia. It is also committed to an inclusive society in all areas of life. The nine independent cities and 18 districts in Westfalen-Lippe are the members of the LWL. They support and finance the regional association, whose tasks are shaped by a parliament with 125 members from the Westphalian municipalities.
