Dr. Heinrich Feuchter-Stiftung

What Dr. Heinrich Feuchter-Stiftung does

Dr. Heinrich Feuchter-Stiftung is a German charitable foundation (Stiftung) established in 1965 by Dr. Heinrich Feuchter, a former technical director of Vorwerk & Sohn, with an endowment equivalent to approximately one million euros. Registered under Stiftungsregister-Nr. 21-13-ST.269 and headquartered on a 13,000+ m² campus at Westfalenweg 210 in Wuppertal, North Rhine-Westphalia, the foundation operates an integrated continuum-of-care senior living model serving elderly residents and their families in the Wuppertal North area (Uellendahl, Katernberg, Dönberg neighborhoods).

The foundation runs five interconnected service lines: Seniorenwohnungen (independent senior apartments of 40-52 m²), Betreutes Wohnen (37 assisted-living apartments of 32-79 m² in two buildings), a Pflegeresidenz nursing residence (76 single rooms and 5 double rooms plus 8 short-term-care places), an Ambulanter Pflegedienst for home-based care, and a Notfallversorgung im Quartier emergency neighborhood-care pilot. The technology stack is operational rather than software-led: a 24-hour emergency call system (Notrufdienst), a quality management system aligned with DIN ISO 9001:2000, membership in the Paritätische Qualitätsgemeinschaft Pflege, and annual MD/DAS/WTG quality inspections. Proprietary operational features include on-site kitchen preparation, priority admission pathways between service tiers, and a Quartiersmanagerin neighborhood outreach function.

The revenue model is purely recurring/operational: monthly apartment and service-contract fees (e.g., €85/month basic service contract for senior apartments plus ~€245/month in operating costs), per-diem nursing care rates partially reimbursed by German Pflegeversicherung (SGB XI) up to €3,224/year for short-term care, SGB V treatment-care billing, and private-pay components for accommodation and meals. Distribution is exclusively direct — on-site consultation, home visits, and referral relationships with local doctors and hospitals. As a registered Stiftung, all surplus is reinvested in quality improvement; the foundation is governed by a 3-6 member volunteer Vorstand and an Aufsichtsgremium.
