Inclusion of any kind is fundamental for a functioning society. Following this motto, the Wackerbau management took part in a conference of the Lebenshilfe Offenburg-Oberkirch about „Education for all – Work for everyone, a chance for employees with special needs “. More than 60 participants from the trade, industry, it and service sector as well as educational institutions took part and shared their experience.
CEO Nico Wacker is almost there: „Developing apartments as the most beautiful way to grow old.“. The roofing ceremony in the residence’s courtyard was well-attended. Future tenants and some curious neighbours gathered together for the ceremony.
After the completion of the neighbouring medical centre, it was time to start building the pensioner residence, an unparalleled project for people in their prime.
This residence is no compound for assisted living, although, if necessary the Vinzentiushaus can provide a 24-hour emergency call system or support during everyday life, However, the project primarily is meant to be a local oasis for residents over 55.
A functioning infrastructure is important for an ever-changing society. That is also what CEO Nico Wacker thought, when he bought the former building of the local water authority in 2011 to transform it into a medical centre. It is the fourth of its kind in Offenburg but the location makes it special. It is situated in walking distance of a pensioner residence which yet has to be built. But not only doctors will find room for their practice. There will also be a pharmacy and a bakery.
Donations and social commitment are a longstanding tradition at Wackerbau. CEO Nico Wacker has been privately active with „Menschenliebe e.V“, an association which helps to build hospitals and educate nursing staff in rural areas of Uganda. This club is also very active in the field of AIDS prevention.
