An open heart, a little time, and a love of spending time together—the Scheele shared apartment is looking forward to having you!

Eleven people living with dementia call the Scheele shared living community in Lichterfelde home; they look forward to meeting new people, participating in group activities, and enjoying a little variety in their daily lives.

Here, life is celebrated—and often in the most literal sense! Whether it’s a small party, a game night, or a walk in nature: in this shared living community, there’s always a reason to share wonderful moments together.

Some residents have lived here for many years and have grown into a close-knit community. The care team is also exceptionally stable: some staff members have been with the shared living community for over 20 years. Together, with their wealth of experience, creativity, and enthusiasm, they are dedicated to ensuring that residents can shape their daily lives as independently as possible.

The shared living community is located on the ground floor of a senior living complex on the green outskirts of Lichterfelde. Right outside the door, a shared green space invites residents to linger and interact with the neighborhood.

We’re looking for someone with an open heart who enjoys meeting others, listening to them, and appreciating even the little things in life.

As a volunteer advocate, you’ll serve as an additional, independent point of contact for the residents. You’ll listen to their wishes and needs, bring a fresh perspective to their daily lives, and help them strengthen their interests and sense of self-determination.

Especially when it comes to people with dementia, it sometimes takes a little patience and empathy to recognize their wishes, which aren’t always expressed right away. Even small gestures and shared moments can mean a lot.

Two hours per week are preferred. Schedules will be arranged on an individual basis.
