We care for and support people with chronic psychiatric and geriatric psychiatric illnesses, addictions and mental disabilities. The aim of our work is to provide all residents with the best possible quality of life and to promote and maintain their independence. Our residents also learn how to deal with their limitations and 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) is a local authority association with more than 19,000 employees working for the 8.3 million people in the region. The LWL runs 35 special schools, 21 hospitals, 18 museums, two visitor centers and is one of Germany's largest providers of assistance for people with disabilities. It thus fulfills tasks in the social sector, in the care of the disabled and young people, in psychiatry and in culture, which are sensibly performed 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 Westfalen municipalities.
