On the ground in Freiburg
24-hour live-in care in Freiburg im Breisgau
Freiburg is our home base. From Engelbergerstraße 19 we look after families across the whole city – from Herdern and Zähringen through the Wiehre and Stühlinger out to Sankt Georgen, Haslach and Landwasser. You are welcome to come to the office, but in most cases we come to you, because the living situation can only really be assessed on site: where the bed stands, whether there is a separate room for the carer, how the bathroom is reached.
The surrounding area belongs to Freiburg for us as a matter of course: Gundelfingen, Denzlingen, March, Umkirch, Merzhausen, Au, Horben and Kirchzarten.
A large share of enquiries reach us under time pressure after a hospital stay. When discharge from the Freiburg University Medical Center is approaching and nothing is arranged at home, every day counts – we usually need around ten days' lead time before a carer moves in, and we will tell you honestly at the first conversation whether that is achievable.
Independent advice on care levels and benefits is available from the Pflegestützpunkt Freiburg. We work with what has been assessed there and show you what the monthly cost actually comes to once care allowance and respite care are taken into account.

In the area
Where enquiries from Freiburg usually begin
Most families reach us at one of two moments: a discharge date has been set, or an assessment has just come through. These are the places involved most often.
Pflegestützpunkt Freiburg
Independent advice on care levels and benefits — they answer to nobody selling you anything. We build on what is assessed there rather than talking you into something else.
How it works
From your first call to the first day
-
1
Your call
You describe the situation, we ask what matters: care level, mobility, night-time needs, whether German is essential. No obligation, no sales script.
-
2
Home visit in Freiburg
We come to you and look at the flat: the bed, the bathroom, the carer's room. That is where the honest answer about what is possible comes from.
-
3
The match
We propose one or two carers with their full profiles — age, experience, German level, what they have handled before. You decide.
-
4
Move-in
Around ten days from decision to arrival. We handle the travel, the paperwork and the A1 certificate, and we are there on the first day.
Costs and legal basis
What it costs, and why it is legal
Two questions decide everything else. We answer both before you ask, because a placement built on an unclear arrangement helps nobody.
Ask for a personal calculation2.200 – 3.200 €
Depending on care level, German language level and how much support is needed. Care allowance and respite care reduce this — we show you the real remaining figure, not the headline one.
- A1-Bescheinigung — proof that social contributions are paid in the home country. Issued before arrival, in your hands.
- EU posting model — the carer stays employed by a European partner company. You are not the employer and carry no payroll obligations.
- Minimum wage compliance — working hours and rest periods are contractually fixed.
A carer is not a qualified nurse. Medical procedures — injections, wound care, catheters — belong to an outpatient nursing service, which can come alongside. Anyone promising you both in one person is selling you something.
