Haller Str. 53, 74653 Künzelsau, Germany
In August 2022, my mother-in-law came into short-term care with an advanced stage of vascular dementia, immediately after a short hospital stay, which seamlessly transitioned into full-time inpatient care and ended with her death in November 2024. Despite its aging charm, the Alte Harmonie nursing home in Kocherstetten impressed with its incredibly warm and dignified atmosphere. The entrance area is discreetly locked out of consideration for the residents - a sign of the care and protection that is important here. The residents without dementia have a bowl for the entrance door. Particularly noteworthy is the loving and respectful treatment of the employees towards the residents. Everyone here is treated with dignity, treated individually and supported lovingly. You can feel that not only care is taken here, but work is carried out with real humanity, which is a matter close to the heart of the home manager, Ms. Hess-Feldbach. I can't understand some of the extremely negative reviews. Humanity is the most important thing, especially when dealing with people of advanced age. In the end, this phase of life is not about “the most modern, beautiful equipment”; because people with dementia live in the past. I don't just admire Ms. Hess-Feldbach for her warm manner in dealing with the residents. You leave a nursing home with a much better feeling when you can see how small loving gestures towards the residents put a smile on their faces. Where people work with people, mistakes happen. Everyone makes mistakes, it's human. It is then important to talk to each other and find a solution. In contrast to my father-in-law's 14-day short-term care in August 2019 in another facility when he suddenly died there, I always had the feeling that my mother-in-law was in good hands in Kocherstetten.

Choosing a home for your loved ones is a difficult thing, and not just during Corona times. I now have both parents in this home and of course, as with all earthly things, there is still room for improvement BUT you have to say very clearly that in this small home the carers are more in the foreground than in some large ones where "appearances" are just the thing is topped by the monthly price. Neither I nor my parents can say anything negative about their accommodation, food, treatment, let alone hygiene. Regardless of whether it was about reassigning the care level or other questions, the home management was always helpful and the staff were always friendly, respectful and loving towards the carers. With all of these politically homemade problems, it is still a stroke of luck these days to get an affordable and dignified place in a home close to where you live and you should perhaps have a personal conversation with the home management or the staff before you start spewing hatred and agitation!
