In the two villages of Sassen and Richthof, around 250 men and women with intellectual disabilities currently live in 26 large families. In such an extended family, there are 4 to 12 cared-for people, the house parents, their children if necessary, and 1 to 2 volunteers.
An essential task of community life is the creation of a diverse cultural life. This also includes practicing social skills and looking for new, contemporary forms of community.

Leisure activities include: choir, orchestra, folk dance, eurythmy, painting, theater, concerts, lectures as well as swimming, hiking, gymnastics, sport and the like.
