Lebenshilfe Rhein-Erft-Kreis e.V.

The nonprofit organization offers a wide range of services for people with cognitive and/or physical disabilities to support those with special needs in all areas of life.

Lebenshilfe im Rhein-Erft-Kreis e.V. is an independent organization and is recognized as a nonprofit association. Since its founding in 1963, it has provided a wide range of services for people with cognitive and/or physical disabilities, including care, support, housing, and counseling, to assist people with special needs in all areas of life. Its main goal is to promote acceptance, respect, and social participation for these individuals.

Lebenshilfe operates at six locations throughout the Rhein-Erft district and employs about 120 staff members who care for more than 250 children, adolescents, and adults—with and without disabilities—every day.

Daycare Center

In total, Lebenshilfe operates three inclusive daycare centers and one special education facility. At these four locations (Brühl, Hürth, Erftstadt, and Frechen), approximately 200 children ranging in age from one year old to school age are cared for, including children with and without special needs, disabilities, or chronic illnesses.

Residence

The residential facility in Elsdorf provides a personalized and safe home for twenty people with cognitive and/or multiple disabilities. Divided into two living groups, each resident has their own room. Here, residents live independently and on their own terms.

Individual assistance, guidance, care, and support are provided around the clock.

Assisted Living

Assisted living programs support people with cognitive impairments in leading lives that are as independent, self-determined, and self-directed as possible in their own homes.

Counseling Centers

The counseling centers assist clients with applying for benefits and work with them to develop solutions. Our counseling services cover all areas of integration assistance as well as other social, medical, and administrative matters.

Club 80 - Active Leisure

In addition, we run Club '80 – Active Leisure, which is based on volunteer work. Here, we offer and organize a wide range of recreational activities for people with cognitive impairments, ranging in age from 16 and up to the elderly.

As can be seen from the financial statement provided, only 3.8% of expenditures are allocated to general administrative tasks; the majority of expenditures are used directly for project-related purposes. In addition, the association’s board of directors serves on a volunteer basis, and there is no budget for public relations and marketing.
