Friedrich-Zimmer-Haus der Van-Delden-Klinik

Overlooking the serene grounds of the Diakonieverein in Berlin-Zehlendorf stands the Friedrich-Zimmer-Haus der Van-Delden-Klinik. This isn’t just a building. It’s a living testament to a century of care and community. The Friedrich-Zimmer-Haus der Van-Delden-Klinik originally opened its doors as a peaceful retirement home for dedicated deaconesses. Today, it embraces a wider community. Retired individuals from the church, Diakonie, and those connected to the Diakonieverein find solace and companionship within its walls. In 1925, the Friedrich-Zimmer-Haus der Van-Delden-Klinik first offered its comforting presence. Now, over a hundred years later, it continues to adapt to the evolving needs of its residents. Since February 2018, the Friedrich-Zimmer-Haus der Van-Delden-Klinik has provided a specialized assisted living community. Twelve seniors share their lives, enjoying a more personalized and independent environment than a traditional nursing home. Each resident has a private room and bathroom within a larger unit. This unit features communal spaces and a shared kitchen. This design fosters both privacy and social interaction, allowing residents to participate as much or as little as they choose. The 24-hour care ensures safety and a sense of belonging. For those requiring less assistance, the Friedrich-Zimmer-Haus der Van-Delden-Klinik offers seventeen assisted living apartments. Residents maintain their independence while benefiting from the supportive services available. The Friedrich-Zimmer-Haus der Van-Delden-Klinik provides a range of amenities. These include laundry service, housekeeping, and meals from the neighboring Heimathausku00fcche. On-site ambulatory care is readily available if needed. The vibrant social and cultural offerings include themed afternoons, devotional services, pastoral care, readings, exercise classes, and outings. Residents can enjoy walks through the park-like grounds, attend events, go shopping, or visit doctors with companions. Shared activities like cooking and music enrich daily life. The Diakoniestation van Delden, also located on the Diakonieverein grounds, delivers ambulatory care, supported by volunteers from the Diakonie-Haltestelle.
