Ice age in the residential abbey: Manfred Wolf inspires with sweet tradition!

In the Evangelisches Wohnstift Raadt in Mülheim an der Ruhr, a very special tradition is maintained that is deeply anchored in the hearts of the residents. Every year Manfred Wolf's birthday is celebrated with a festive ice cream truck. His son Martin Wolf is responsible for this sweet surprise, which will transform the entire residential complex into an oasis for ice cream lovers on July 10th. The ice cream truck is located either in the garden or directly in front of the main entrance and invites all residents and the team to enjoy ice cream together. This heartwarming gesture is greatly appreciated by everyone and brings joy to the everyday lives of those who live here.

But what else makes the Evangelisches Wohnstift Raadt so special? The modern facility is not just a place where seniors live, but a home specifically tailored to their needs. Surrounded by a quiet, green landscape, the Wohnstift offers a relaxing atmosphere that promotes the well-being of its residents. With light-filled courtyards and comfortable seating areas, the open architecture creates an inviting environment. Barrier-free single and double apartments as well as standard rooms enable people to design their homes individually and feel comfortable, as WAZ reports.

A wide range of care and leisure options

At the Evangelisches Wohnstift Raadt, comprehensive care that includes body, mind and soul is the top priority. The care is based on the activating concept according to Monika Krohwinkel and the psychobiographical model according to Professor Erwin Böhm, which is particularly suitable for dementia care. In close collaboration with doctors and external partners, the Wohnstift ensures holistic care for its residents.

The leisure activities are as diverse as the residents themselves. They range from crafts and cooking to gymnastics and excursions to film evenings and concerts. The facility places great emphasis on ensuring residents have access to social and cultural activities that are specifically tailored to their needs. This helps to promote social contacts and banish loneliness. The importance of exercise is also not neglected, because physical activity is central to the lifestyle of our seniors, as Pflege Panorama emphasizes.

Promote creativity and lifelong learning

The opportunities for creative development are another highlight of the Wohnstift. Offers such as painting and drawing courses, pottery or photography workshops stimulate the residents' creativity and at the same time promote their cognitive skills. Scientific studies show that such creative activities can also help prevent dementia.

The Evangelisches Wohnstift Raadt impressively proves how important an active and varied life is in old age. It is not just a place to live, but a place where the focus is on quality of life and innovative concepts for leisure and cultural activities are offered. So every day becomes a new chance for joy, community and fulfillment, and every birthday, like Manfred Wolf's, is celebrated with enthusiasm.
