MEINOLF ROTH DIRECTOR OF THE THERESA ALBERS FOUNDATION
›SAFEGUARDING DIGNITY‹
The Theresa Albers Foundation is dedicated to respecting every individual's dignity and accepting them with all their strengths and weaknesses. This charitable Catholic foundation based in Hattingen has been operating several retirement homes and care facilities for people with chronic psychological disorders and mental disabilities for 17 years.
For staff at the Theresa Albers Foundation, the Christian commandment of 'love your neighbour' means taking responsibility for people in need. Meinolf Roth, Director of the foundation, believes that this work helps to make society fairer. »The communities at our centres put an end to loneliness for lots of older people.«
The foundation has incorporated the concept of sustainability into its work to ensure that it can keep fulfilling its mandate in the long term. For example, some foundation employees complete pastoral training to help combat the shortage of spiritual advisers. Other sustainable measures include intelligent workflow organisation and energy-efficient facility management. The foundation's business activities put patients' interests first. »As a charitable Catholic organisation, it is important that we remain authentic and stand up for the values that are laid down in our foundation's mission statement,« emphasises Meinolf Roth.
