Tivoli Senior Residence in Vienna Closes: Around 100 Residents Must Move Out
After 30 years, Kursana, a private provider in senior care and support that belongs to the Dussmann Group Germany, must cease the business operations of the Vienna-Tivoli residence by April 30, 2025. The lease agreement with the owner and lessor of the property is expiring, as announced on Thursday. For continued operation, a general renovation by the lessor would be necessary, which is not possible during ongoing operations, it was announced in a press release.
Home Residents and Employees Informed About Closure
Kursana, together with the Vienna Social Fund (FSW), informed the affected seniors yesterday Wednesday in a residents and relatives meeting about the closure of the facility and the possibilities of changing homes. Among other things, places are available in the recently modernized Trazerberg house of the Vienna Pensioners' Residential Homes - Houses for Living. Currently, 87 FSW customers in need of stationary care and support live in the Kursana Residence Vienna-Tivoli, the capacity of the house was only about half utilized by the operator recently.
There was also an information event for the employees. They were offered to switch to facilities of other partner organizations of the FSW. "Regardless of which facility the customers will find a new home in, we as the Vienna Social Fund can ensure that there will be a place offer for all residents. Here we have a clear commitment to supply security from our side," says Monika Badilla, deputy FSW managing director and head of the nursing and care department.

The facility has been in operation since 1995. "We deeply regret this situation, which is not easy for the residents and their relatives, as well as for our employees," says Ulf Bieschke, managing director at Kursana. "Together with the FSW, we are working intensively to ensure that all residents find a new, suitable home by the end of April. We thank the FSW for their support."
