Stand:
SCHWIEBERT: What is the average age of the lodgers? From which age
onwards will
they be admitted?
NIEBIUS: The average age is presently 84 years. We had already younger
lodgers. The admitted age does not play an important role, but as a rule, mostly
older people join our family.
SCHWIEBERT: Do you accept also persons who need nursing care and up to
which degree?
NIEBIUS: Normally we accept only persons who need nursing care up to
nursing degree 3+, occasionally also persons with geronto-psychiatric problems
are accepted
SCHWIEBERT: If yes, how big is the nursing effort in relation to the
general effort of caring for old people (in %)?
NIEBIUS: Normally 50/50 %. However it can also be that the nursing care
is higher, than it is 25 % supervision and 75% care.

SCHWIEBERT: Are there any common activities with your family members,
if yes please give 1-2 examples?
NIEBIUS: We are living together with the old people. This alone is
sufficient "activity". The family stimulus in all its various forms
livens up and sustains. Other activities are: occasional celebrations with our
lodgers and their relatives. Walks through the forest accompanied by our
children, shopping tours, visits of relatives or the doctor, 2-3 times common
holidays on our holiday residence "Martinshof" in Brandenburg-Prignitz).
