Verbandskëscht

What Verbandskëscht does

Verbandskëscht SARL is a privately held Luxembourg home healthcare provider founded in 2005 and headquartered in Livange, operating under trade register B163544 with two ministerial authorizations (PA/22/04/072 and PA 11/11/008). Originally a wound-care specialist whose name derives from the Luxembourgish 'Verbandskasten', the company has evolved into a multidisciplinary home-care platform employing over 320 professionals and serving more than 1,000 patients daily across Luxembourg. Service lines comprise home help (Aides à domicile), home nursing care (Soins à domicile including post-operative, palliative, and psychological support), physiotherapy (Kinésithérapie), and an adult daycare center (Foyer de jour), all coordinated through a single dedicated contact per patient and available 24/7. The company operates two physical care cabinets (Ehlange-sur-Mess, Alzingen) and a coordination center reachable at short code 28 30.

The technology backbone is UpCare, a proprietary digital care management platform co-developed with CareIT AG, designed for real-world care operations, medical follow-up, and administrative traceability. The platform enables the single-contact coordination model that differentiates the offering. Distribution is direct-to-consumer, primarily through home visits, with referral pipelines into Hôpitaux Schuman, CHEM, CHDN, and Rehazenter; ancillary digital channels include LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and a content blog on vbk.lu.

The revenue model is reimbursement-driven through Luxembourg's public healthcare system: treatment care is covered at 88% by the CNS (Caisse Nationale de Santé), with potential 100% coverage in special situations, and home help services may be fully covered by Dependence Insurance for eligible beneficiaries. Customer segments include the elderly and aging population, post-hospitalization patients, people with disabilities, and family caregivers. The company is privately held (SARL structure), bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, and led by General Manager Alex Mergen alongside functional heads of HR, Finance/Administration, Nursing, QHSE, and General Services.
