The Institut St. Joseph (ISJ) Betzdorf offers residential, occupational and working facilities for people with learning disabilities and / or severe multiple handicaps. Respecting the Christian tradition of the institution and its residents, a multi professional team is facing the varying social challenges by modern special educational and / or therapeutic approaches. Today, more than 100 residents, including children, adults and elderly, live in the ISJ Betzdorf in family like, residential units from 8 to 10 persons. Two of these 14 residential units are located in external communities, one in Roodt/Syre, one in Niederanven. Self-determination and normalization are major goals of the ISJ Betzdorf. Assisted by the staff and according to individual possibilities, the residents take part in every day life. In addition we have a day center which includes special working structures (soap production, recycling team, cleaning and laundry services, cooking and catering services), therapeutic and creative ateliers, musical therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and residential day groups. This provides occupational and work facilities for the residents and offers a great variety of activities meeting the special needs of both residents or external attendants.
