Residential and care association Haus Sonne

What Residential and care association Haus Sonne does

Haus Sonne (Wohn- und Betreuungsverbund Haus Sonne) is a German non-profit social care provider operating under a dual-structure governance model: Verein Haus Sonne e.V. as the sponsoring charitable association and Haus Sonne gGmbH as the operating entity. Founded in 1985 in the Schönau district of Bad Münstereifel and now led by managing directors Eberhard Kremer and Maike Seidenfaden under chairman Peter Beier, the organization serves approximately 72 adults with chronic mental health conditions (predominantly from the schizophrenic spectrum and its sequelae, organic psychosyndromes, and dependency disorders), as well as seniors seeking independent supported living.

The service portfolio is integrated and multi-modal. Residential care (Besondere Wohnformen) operates two main facilities — Haus Sonne in rural Schönau (22 residents) and Haus Maria in Bad Münstereifel city center (22 residents). Ambulatory supported living (Ambulant Betreutes Wohnen) is delivered through shared apartments (WG Nöthen, WG Pesch, WG In der Buch) and individual housing. Day-structure and work-therapy programs span kitchen, garden, assembly, maintenance, laundry, art therapy, and leisure activities. Senior service living (Servicewohnen) operates 13+ apartments across three properties. Care delivery relies on therapeutic methodologies, care protocols, and organizational quality management rather than any proprietary technology platform; the only technology integrations are consumer-grade website utilities (Google Maps, YouTube) and social media channels.

The business model is funded primarily through statutory social welfare reimbursements under Germany's SGB IX (Eingliederungshilfe), supplemented by senior service-living private rents, third-party grants (Aktion Mensch, Aktion Deutschland hilft, NRW Ministry of Labor), cultural-event ticket revenue from the in-house Kulturkapelle venue, and charity-event fundraising. Institutional referrals flow through membership in the Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband, with the go-to-market motion being community-led rather than commercial. Geographic scope is intentionally narrow — Bad Münstereifel and surrounding villages (Schönau, Nöthen, Pesch) — and the organization employs nearly 50 staff delivering 24/7 care.
