New Perspectives: City Responds to Closure of Senior Residence Vienna-Tivoli
Following the unexpected announcement of the closure of the Kursana care home Vienna-Tivoli in January, the city of Vienna acted quickly. The Vienna Social Fund (FSW) took responsibility by offering alternative places in other residential and care facilities to the affected residents. At the same time, new career prospects were provided to the employees, with around 30 former Kursana employees set to work for the Houses for Living in the future.
Modernization of the Trazerberg House in Vienna-Hietzing: Over 100 Additional Care Places
Another significant step in the care infrastructure was achieved through the modernization of the Trazerberg House in Hietzing. This was comprehensively renovated between 2022 and 2024, creating 112 additional care places. Christian Hennefeind, Managing Director of the Houses for Living, emphasizes: “With the renovation, we have not only created a modern home but also an attractive workplace. The modernized house is a first milestone within the framework of our Houses Strategy 2030+ developed together with the FSW and the city of Vienna.” As part of this strategy, a total of 450 new care places are planned to be created in Vienna by 2030.
House Tivoli in Vienna-Meidling Also with Future Prospects
The Tivoli care home in Meidling, which was previously operated by the private provider Kursana, is also facing changes. The lease agreement for the use of the building with the owner Bank Austria Real Invest expires at the end of April. Since the building needs to be renovated, a future continuation as a care facility with a new operator is planned.
