In children's homes, children and adolescents who do not have parents or do not receive regular care in their parents' home find a home.
The reasons for accommodation in the children's home are different:

• the death of both parents
• a child does not receive the necessary care and care from his or her family
• Parents do not feel the responsibility to raise a child

The children and adolescents live in residential groups in the children's home and are intensively cared for. The focus is on pedagogical support for school development as well as social coexistence and the design of leisure time.

Children's homes basically aim to pave the way for their protégés to enter a "normal" family - if possible, reintegration into their own family.
If the parents have died or if a child has been officially approved for adoption, the children's home tries to mediate it to a foster family or adoption family.
