Thurvita

What Thurvita does

Thurvita AG is a privately held Swiss healthcare and senior care operator headquartered in Wil, Canton St. Gallen. The company delivers a continuum of elderly care services across four nursing homes (Pflegeheim Sonnenhof, Pflegeheim Fürstenau, Pflegeheim Rosengarten, and Pflegewohnung Engi), specialized dementia residential groups (Wohngruppen Bergholz, Fürstenau, and Rosengarten in planning), independent senior apartments (Alterswohnungen at Sonnenhof and Quartierzentrum City), home-based Spitex services available seven days a week, a day center (Tageszentrum City), and rehabilitation plus palliative bridge programs. Culinary services are run under the 'Chez Grand Maman' brand across two restaurants (Sonnenhof, Fürstenau), banquet/catering, and a meal-delivery service.

The underlying technology and platform are essentially a multi-site healthcare services operation rather than a software product; there are no proprietary digital products, applications, or APIs disclosed. Revenue is generated through per-resident fees for nursing and dementia care, rental and service fees for senior apartments, usage-based billing for Spitex home care, day-center fees, and restaurant/catering receipts. Pricing is published in downloadable 2026 price lists and is sourced through a centralized Beratungsstelle (consultation office) that functions as the primary sales channel. Distribution is owned real estate plus a Spitex mobile workforce across the Wil catchment in Canton St. Gallen; the only disclosed strategic partnerships are with Spitalregion Fürstenland Toggenburg (Spital Wil) for interprofessional geriatric care and with the Genossenschaft für Alterswohnungen cooperative for senior apartment rentals.

Customer segments center on elderly individuals needing care, people with dementia, families seeking respite, and active seniors seeking supportive housing. Marketing and sales are consultation-led, supplemented by a content website, downloadable brochures, and social channels on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The company has been operating since at least 2014 (the earliest published Geschäftsbericht) and is currently investing in capacity expansion, including the Quartierzentrum City complex launching March 2026 and the Sonnenhof der Zukunft project adding 32 senior apartments by April 2027.
