Modern new building with 95 single rooms for full inpatient care and short-term care as well as 20 assisted living apartments is being built
Cureus, a portfolio holder specializing in inpatient care properties that is building new for its own portfolio and actively manages it, and compassio, the future operator of the Haus Tuzzo retirement home in the Dotzheim district of Wiesbaden, invited to the topping-out ceremony today. Among the guests were representatives from politics and administration, from the side of those involved in the construction and neighbors. In addition to the actual ceremony under the topping-out wreath with a hearty topping-out speech and the symbolic hammering of the last nail into the roof structure, the approximately 45 participants were also presented with in-depth information about the newly emerging senior citizens’ home. The physical well-being was well taken care of. Construction will take place at Tauernststrasse 14 in 65199 Wiesbaden-Dotzheim (Hesse). The general contractor for the construction is the company Olaf Joop Projektbau GmbH.
“Our construction project continues to progress. The shell of the new retirement home Haus Tuzzo is finished, the shell is tight and the future building is already very easy to see. So these are the best conditions for starting the interior work soon,” says Antonia Bonz, Project Manager of Cureus: “We would like to celebrate this construction progress in a traditional way with all those involved in the construction and express our thanks to them for what they have achieved so far. New energy requirements right at the beginning of the construction project have led to a small delay in the plan. We now expect completion and handover to our experienced operating partner compassio in spring 2026, instead of at the turn of the year 2025/26.”
Johannes Knake, Managing Director of compassio, also thanks the teams on the construction site and is pleased with the progress of the project: “We are seeing an increasing demand for nursing places in Wiesbaden and the surrounding area and are sure that we will be able to continue to meet this with the attractive new building and our extensive range of care and support services. Therefore, an important care location in Hesse with a feel-good character is also being created here, which will be characterized by its high-quality, senior-friendly interior design and exterior architecture as well as friendly and modern living areas with a focus on the needs of the residents.”

State-of-the-art care with a comprehensive range of services
The compassio senior citizens’ home Haus Tuzzo in Dotzheim is being built on a plot of around 5,000 square metres in an established residential area in the northwest of Wiesbaden and will comprise around 7,450 square metres of gross floor area. The U-shaped building opens to the southeast to a green inner courtyard, it has a partial basement with basement and underground parking and is embedded in the slight hillside location on the property. The sustainably planned domicile will be built as an energy-optimised KfW Efficiency House 40. A photovoltaic system on the roof and a heat pump for heating and hot water support the operation of the building in an ecologically sensible way. Some of the flat roofs will be greened. In addition, nesting boxes for birds and bats as well as night insect-friendly outdoor lighting are planned. The planting of new trees on the site is also part of this construction project.
The barrier-free domicile extends over three full floors and a staggered floor. For the future residents, 95 modern care places, 80 for permanent and 15 for short-term care, will be available in generously designed single rooms with their own bathroom. 38 of the rooms are wheelchair accessible, some rooms are more spacious as comfort rooms. Each room has its own telephone, television and internet connection. It is possible to furnish the rooms yourself to preserve privacy and as a private retreat. For a familiar, social atmosphere, the rooms are divided into six independently organised residential groups with an associated kitchen–living room and lounge area as well as a balcony or roof terrace.
On the ground floor of the retirement home, a residents’ restaurant with kitchen and terrace is planned. A hotel-like reception with an inviting foyer, a fireplace room with library, a hairdresser, a modern care bathroom and therapy rooms round off the range of services for the residents.
Assisted living in 20 spacious apartments
The 20 modern assisted living apartments of the domicile are spread over all five floors. They can be reached via a separate entrance in the building and an elevator. The spacious apartments are between 45 and 61 square meters in size and are suitable for one- or two-person households. All apartments have a living room with cooking facilities, bedroom, private bathroom, hallway, storage room and terrace or balcony.
Optimal location and accessibility
Located near the Weilburg Valley with Mosbach and Aunelquelle, the location is close to nature. The friendly outdoor area in the inner courtyard also invites all residents of the compassio retirement home in Dotzheim to exercise and meet outdoors. In addition, a total of 30 car parking spaces are available here and in the underground car park, four of which are handicapped accessible, as well as more than 40 bicycle parking spaces. The connection to public transport is also ensured, which ensures optimal accessibility for residents, visitors and employees and connects the location with the city centre in the best possible way. In the immediate vicinity and in the city centre, local supply, social and cultural facilities as well as churches and doctors are easily accessible.
Well thought-out standard ensures individuality and the highest construction quality
The compassio retirement home in Dotzheim is being built in accordance with the Cureus standard of the system care property. This relies on uniform, high quality standards and is oriented, among other things, to the needs of the operators with a focus on residents and nursing staff. For example, the construction processes and all objects are optimized from the inside out: This applies, for example, to the size and arrangement of rooms to optimize areas and walkways. The on-site equipment is also well thought-out from a utility point of view: corridors always receive daylight, each room has floor-to-ceiling windows and the modern bathrooms and window arrangements always follow the same standardised system approach. In the architecture and façade design, however, great importance is attached to individuality and the highest quality in order to fit optimally into the respective project environment. Sustainable aspects also play an important role both in terms of the long-term profitability of a nursing home and its impact on the environment. For example, the KfW 40 standard is aimed for all properties. The bundled procurement, including floor coverings or elevator systems, also ensures cost synergies. Long-term maintenance contracts covering several properties also reduce the costs of the future operator. By constantly reviewing and optimizing this system approach, the creation of needs-based properties can be guaranteed.
