The future of some care facilities in Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt is still uncertain for the insolvent care group Argentum. Although a buyer has been found as part of an intensive investor process, a spokesperson for the care group announced that the takeover only applies to some of the facilities.
Argentum operates more than 40 retirement and care facilities across Germany, four of which are in Saxony-Anhalt and seven in Saxony. In the spring, the group justified its financial problems with major challenges in the care sector, such as a shortage of skilled workers, rising operating costs, bureaucratic hurdles and insufficient funding.
A total of around 2,800 people work for the care group, according to the company. Around 3,100 people in need of care and support are cared for in the facilities.
