MANAGEMENT OF THE SILVER LIVING GROUP

Managing partners Walter Eichinger, Thomas Morgl and Karl Trummer take care of the agendas of the Silver Living Group, which consists of several companies. “We do understand you” – the guiding principle of the corporate group with the aim of continuously dealing with the needs of senior citizens, promoting public discourse on the topic of age as well as promoting a change in perception of the image of old age.

Assisted Living stands for self-determination, socialization, security – but also for support, ‘joie de vivre’ and respectful interaction. Values ​​with which the Silver Living Group identifies, and which have become part of our corporate identity when dealing with our customers. We believe that we have understood the justification and relevance of this type of living and are happy to share our experience and knowledge with you.
