Stiftelsen Hemmet i Åbo sr

What Stiftelsen Hemmet i Åbo sr does

Stiftelsen Hemmet i Åbo sr is a non-profit foundation (säätiö) established in 1886 in Turku, Finland, operating a Swedish-language elderly care service house in a historic yellow stone building on Observatoriegatan 2. The foundation serves approximately 50 residents across two departments: Annahemmet, a 35-apartment service department offering care from independent living to round-the-clock assistance, and Rosenhemmet, a 15-bed dementia care unit. Approximately 40 staff members provide care, kitchen, administrative, and day services. Supporting services include a day activities program ('En dag på Hemmet') for home-dwelling pensioners across three weekly groups, short-term residential stays, and Villa Vinden, a fourth-floor catering and event venue generating ancillary public revenue. External funding is received from Svenska kulturfonden and Stiftelsen Eschnerska Frilasarettet for cultural and lifelong learning programs.

The technology stack is limited to mainstream, off-the-shelf care tools: the Abilita digital patient journal system, RAI/RAVA assessment instruments for care planning, and the Työvuorovelho staff scheduling platform administered by the external accounting firm Accountor. There is no proprietary technology platform. Revenue comes from three primary streams: private residential care fees based on five care package tiers, public funding via service vouchers (servicesedel) and payment commitments (maksusitoumus) issued by the Västra Finlands välfärdsområde, and ancillary catering and event rental income from Villa Vinden. Pricing for residential care is quote-based and individualized; day activities are priced at EUR 14 per session inclusive of transport and meals. Residents are admitted via a waiting list (bostadskö), with marketing conducted through a bilingual website, Facebook and Instagram accounts, and word-of-mouth within the Swedish-speaking community of Turku. No formal sales team exists; admissions are handled administratively.

Revenue model

1. Residential care fees (private agreements): Residents with private service agreements pay for their accommodation and care based on one of five residential packages offered by Hemmet. Private agreements are based on individual care needs and are quoted upon inquiry.
2. Service voucher (servicesedel): Residents can use a service voucher issued by the welfare area to cover part or all of their care costs at Hemmet.
3. Welfare area payment commitment (maksusitoumus): The Västra Finlands välfärdsområde (Regional Council of Southwest Finland) issues payment commitments to cover care costs for eligible residents at Hemmet.
4. Catering and event services (Villa Vinden): Villa Vinden on Hemmet's fourth floor offers catering services to private individuals and businesses, as well as open buffets and event venue rental. This generates ancillary revenue beyond core care fees.
