Home care in Nikolassee — by the lake, in the villa colony
Nikolassee was laid out from 1901 as a villa colony on the edge of the Grunewald — between the Schlachtensee and the Nikolassee, with large plots, old trees and a quiet that is rare in Berlin. People who own a house here usually bought it decades ago or took it over from their parents. The colony has grown old along with its residents.
That is exactly where the need for care comes from: owners who do not want to leave their house by the lake, and do not have to. We come to them — to the place where they have spent their lives, rather than moving them into an institution.
Who comes to us in Nikolassee
- Older homeowners who have lived in the villa colony for decades and wish to stay.
- Couples where one partner comes to need care and the other needs relief.
- Adult children who do not live in Berlin themselves and are looking for dependable care for their parents by the lake.
- People in the early stages of dementia, for whom familiar surroundings by the water are an anchor.
What defines care in Nikolassee
- A house, not a flat:
- Care here usually takes place in a detached house over several floors. Stairs, the garden, the path down to the lake — we shape the arrangement around the actual house, not around a standard flat.
- The pull of the lakes:
- The daily walk to the Schlachtensee or the Nikolassee is part of life for many people here. We go with them for as long as it is possible — movement in familiar places keeps people steady longer than any programme.
- Discretion within the colony:
- In a small villa colony, everyone knows everyone. Our team keeps a low profile, arrives without a branded car, and respects that neighbourhood here also means visibility.

Frequently asked questions
Can you go with my father on his daily walk to the Schlachtensee?
Yes. Accompanied walks are among the things we do most often here. We adjust the pace and the route to how he is that day, and we are at his side if he is unsteady or at risk of falling.The house has several floors — is that a problem for care?
No, but we look at it during the first visit. We can also advise on how daily life might be brought onto one floor, or which aids would make the stairs safer.How quickly can you get here from Moabit in an emergency?
For spontaneous urgent calls, the honest figure to plan with is 20 to 30 minutes. That is why we work here with fixed, pre-arranged shifts rather than a minute-by-minute response — so that someone is already there when it matters.
