Employees of the Parkwohnstift Bad Kissingen are desperately waiting for wages!

In the heart of Bad Kissingen, things are simmering behind the scenes of the Parkwohnstift. Around 125 employees are still waiting for their outstanding wages for the month of December 2025. But the situation is anything but easy, because the responsible Ambiente Care GmbH, which recently took over operations at the Parkwohnstift, is confronted with financial bottlenecks that are greater than initially assumed. As Mainpost reports, the company's press office does not comment on the outstanding funds, which raises the concerns of the company employees only increased.

The financial difficulties are not an isolated case. According to Carevor9, employees from various Ambiente Care Group facilities report delayed salary payments. Employees are eagerly waiting for their money not only in Bad Kissingen, but also in other senior residences such as the “Haus am Hellweg” in Unna. In some cases, employees are even increasingly dependent on advance payments, which apparently were not paid out, even though Ambiente had originally offered to do so.

Background of the financial crisis

Ambiente Care GmbH was founded about three years ago and experienced rapid growth by taking over several insolvent facilities. The company grew from 7 to 17 locations by the end of 2023, including the now affected Parkwohnstift Bad Kissingen. Managing directors Karl Heinz Lukofnak and Michael Novak, both shareholders, are now faced with a challenge that they can hardly overcome.

Although Ambiente Care emphasizes that caring for residents is a top priority and there are internal emergency plans, many questions remain unanswered. The reasons for the current financial misery are increased costs and delayed refinancing, as the company admits. Employees are unsure about what will happen to the company's financial stability.

What now?

Despite the difficulties, there is still hope among employees that the situation will soon improve. Ambiente Care has taken measures to secure liquidity and tried to ensure rapid payment of outstanding salaries. But until the last cent flows, the mood in the Parkwohnstift remains tense.

Concern among employees is growing as they want to be informed more about developments on a daily basis. At a time when supporting older adults is important, such financial concerns add additional stress to an already challenging work environment.
