Every home has its own story. That is why a conversation starts with your goals and local needs.
Our approachFamiliar homes.
Familiar homes.
Shared strength.
The planned group aims to provide support where shared structures can relieve the individual business.
Local relationships.
We aim to preserve personal contacts, established relationships and local identity. Change needs the experience of the people in the home.
Good working conditions.
Reliable rotas, clear responsibilities and structured induction. Qualified staff from Germany and neighbouring countries are intended to strengthen the teams.
Professional quality.
Self-determination, safe care and an open learning culture guide our approach. Experienced operational leadership and qualified care managers are essential.
Sustainable structures.
Organise administration, purchasing and recruitment together. Investment, pay and funding must support long-term care.
People remain our measure of success.
Our care approach combines familiar daily routines, consistent personal contacts and professionally sound support. It will be adapted to each future home with its responsible management.

Start regionally.
Grow on solid foundations.
Our initial search focuses on Lusatia, particularly the Görlitz and Zittau area. We consider other regions where the business and its prospects are a good fit.
Proximity to a border offers an additional route to recruitment. Qualifications, recognition, language skills and applicable pay requirements remain essential.

Who is behind GUTTAGA personal contact.
A personal contact.
Clear responsibility.
GUTTAG is an initiative of DAVID SERAFIN CAPITAL, based in Frankfurt am Main. David Serafin leads the initial conversations about building the group.
Experienced operational leadership and qualified care managers are planned for future care operations. Professional guidance is intended to bring together care delivery, residents’ interests and financial viability.
The development phase includes finding suitable homes and attracting experienced leaders and professional partners. Each next step is agreed specifically with those involved.
Contact David Serafin directlyBefore the first conversationOpen questions.
Open questions.
Clear answers.
Does GUTTAG already operate care homes?
GUTTAG is being developed. No facilities currently belong to the group. This website is primarily for owners, operators and potential professional partners. Care places and jobs are not currently being offered.
Do I need to have decided to sell?
No. Early discussions about succession or a possible investment partnership can also be a reason to talk. A decision to sell is not required.
Which details are helpful initially?
The location, type and approximate size of the facility, your reason for contacting us and a suitable time to call are sufficient. Please do not initially send residents’ data, personnel files or confidential business documents. Their exchange will be agreed separately if needed.
How will the acquisition and investment be funded?
An appropriate capital structure will be developed for each home following financial review. The purchase price, investment requirements and working capital must be funded before a binding transaction is implemented. There are currently no binding funding commitments for an acquisition.
How will staff and residents be involved?
Continuity of care and prospects for staff form part of the review from the outset. Specific changes and local communication will be planned with the responsible people and with respect for existing rights.
