Zentrum Höchweid

What Zentrum Höchweid does

Zentrum Höchweid AG is a Swiss senior care, living, and community center headquartered at Höchweidstrasse 36 in Ebikon, Canton Lucerne. The municipality of Ebikon spun the operation off into an independent stock corporation registered in December 2024 (CHE-477.864.397), operating under three branded divisions: dehei (residential living and care), bistro (gastronomy via Kafi Höchweid + Klatsch), and events (banquet and seminar venue capacity up to 120 persons). A second site, Haus Känzeli at Wydenhofstrasse 6, houses the Kurzzeit Sonnenblick short-term care department, the Sonnengarten dementia living group, and 20 independent living apartments (16 two-room and 4 one-room units).

The care continuum covers long-term residential nursing (Langzeitpflege), short-term stays of 10–90 days for respite, rehabilitation, transitional, and palliative care, specialized dementia care in protected living groups with Snoezelen multisensory rooms and aromatherapy, and independent living for self-sufficient seniors. An Erlebnisgestaltung (experience design) team organizes activities, supported by an on-site pharmacy, intergenerational programs with local schools, music and theater partners, and a volunteer visit group of 20+ organized through Frauen-Netz-Ebikon. Resident animals (cats Charlie, Flora, Smokie; dog Jerry) are part of the daily care environment.

The organization employs 100+ staff across nursing, hospitality, gastronomy, administration, and specialist functions, and runs an apprenticeship program that produced 20 graduates in 2026 (13 from Zentrum Höchweid), with 7 retained as permanent hires. Revenue is generated through recurring care fees (partially covered by Swiss health insurance and cantonal subsidies), recurring apartment rents at Haus Känzeli, and transactional revenue from the public bistro (e.g., CHF 16 for daily specials, CHF 39 for Sunday brunch) and event venue hire. The organization is preparing a building permit application for the 'Asterix und Obelix' campus expansion project selected in March 2025, signaling capacity growth within its Ebikon catchment in the Rontal region of Canton Lucerne.
