Hamburg/Winsen (Aller)/Meinerzhagen, 3 February 2025. Cureus, an integrated property company that specialises in developing and actively managing its own care home portfolio, has completed the Meinerzhagen senior residence at Im Brannten 1 in 58540 Meinerzhagen (North Rhine-Westphalia) and handed it over to the care specialist Curavie Seniorenresidenzen, which has been won as an operating partner. Cureus itself acted as general contractor for this project.
‘We are delighted to now be able to provide important and urgently needed care capacity for the residents in and around Meinerzhagen in accordance with the latest standards and with attractive architecture,’ says Kevin Lleshi, project manager at Cureus. ‘With the senior residence and its residents, a new and central part of the neighbourhood has been created on the site of the former school hostel at this location, which has always been lively. We are confident that in Curavie we have gained an experienced and renowned operator that stands for personalised support and care and wish the future residents and the Curavie team all the best in this new senior residence,’ continued Lleshi.
‘From February 2025, the residence in Meinerzhagen will be our fourth location in operation in the south-east of North Rhine-Westphalia, offering modern care and support from care level 2,’ says Susanne Thon, Managing Director of Curavie, adding: ’Our wide range of care services, including short-term care, respite care and full inpatient care for senior citizens, will be tailored to local needs. The Curavie team will wholeheartedly organise everyday life and care for our residents in accordance with the highest quality standards. This includes an attractive programme of events and leisure activities and our ‘open residences’ concept, in which we promote social and community contact between residents and their local environment. For example, a freshly cooked lunch with regional dishes will also be offered in Meinerzhagen, which will also be accessible to senior citizens in the neighbourhood of the residence, as will various events organised by the home. We have already successfully built up the staff team for the launch. We are characterised by modern workplaces and an appreciative working atmosphere, and we also have six staff flats on site.’

Modern senior residence with restaurant, fireplace lounge, laundry, hairdresser, therapy room, wellness care bath
The U-shaped residential building with a gross floor area of around 5,400 square metres was built on a plot of around 10,000 square metres. In addition to a ground floor and two full storeys, it also includes a staggered storey and was built completely barrier-free in accordance with the highly energy-efficient and sustainable KfW 40EE construction method. Heating is provided by a combined heat and power unit (CHP), which also generates electricity for the retirement home. The flat roofs were greened and covered with gravel, which has a positive effect on the microclimate. The linear and modern façade is an architectural eye-catcher that blends harmoniously into the surrounding buildings with its colour scheme.
On the ground floor of the Curavie senior residence in Meinerzhagen, there is a hotel-style lobby with reception, a restaurant with a sun terrace, a fireside lounge with a library and a hairdressing salon. The property also has an additional wellness care bathroom and therapy rooms. Six residential units with a bed-sitting room, cooking facilities and their own bathroom have also been created on the ground floor as staff flats. The residents' clothing, bed linen and staff uniforms are processed in the in-house laundry.
The senior residence is divided into five residential groups on the upper floors, two on the full floors and one on the staggered floor. The residential group concept is designed to ensure a homely, family-like atmosphere. To this end, each residential group has an attractively designed communal room as the centre of the residential group with a kitchen and dining area as well as a terrace or balcony, which will strengthen social contacts between the residents.
Each of the 80 single rooms is designed to modern standards and has its own bathroom and a telephone, internet and TV connection in addition to a nurse call. All rooms are wheelchair accessible. Residents can bring their own furniture and accessories if they wish. There are also tandem rooms on the 2nd floor, which are connected by a connecting door and can be occupied by couples. The spacious and park-like outdoor areas are also available to the residents of the residence for exercise, relaxation and socialising.
Optimal location and high-quality, modern construction standards
The new Curavie senior residence in Meinerzhagen is located in the southern part of the town, in the immediate vicinity of the ski jump. In addition to direct access to the surrounding green countryside, the centre of Meinerzhagen with its supermarkets, doctors and social facilities as well as the church can be reached quickly on foot or by bus. This means that the location is also optimally connected to the towns and communities in the surrounding area. Bicycle parking spaces and 25 car parking spaces have been created on the grounds of the residence. Good accessibility for visitors and care staff is therefore guaranteed.
The residence is designed and was build in accordance with the Cureus standard for system care homes. This is based on uniform, high quality standards and is oriented, among other things, to the requirements of care home operators, with an added focus on the residents and care staff. In this way, all structural processes and properties are optimised, from the inside to the outside: This includes, for example, the size and arrangement of rooms to optimise space and walkways. Cureus care homes are also designed and equipped for maximum utility: corridors always receive as much daylight as possible; every room has floor-to-ceiling windows, and the modern bathrooms and window fronts always follow the same standardised system approach. Each property’s architecture and facade incorporate individual touches and are constructed to the highest quality standards, integrating seamlessly into their surroundings. The Cureus system approach also prioritises sustainability, both in terms of a care home’s long-term economic viability and its impact on the environment. For example, all Cureus care homes target the KfW Efficiency House 40 standard, while the bulk procurement of floor coverings and elevator systems, for example, achieves cost synergies, and long-term maintenance contracts covering several properties also reduce costs for care home operators. The constant review and optimisation of the Cureus system care home standard guarantees the construction of care homes that truly meet demand.
