Revenue model

1. Government-funded care services (LSS): Stiftelsen Sanna operates under LSS (lagen om särskilt stöd och service), which is Swedish legislation for special support and service for people with disabilities. The organization receives government funding through municipal social services for providing residential care (boende) and day activities (daglig verksamhet). Revenue is derived from public funding rather than direct payment from service users.

Core offering

Stiftelsen Sanna is a Swedish nonprofit foundation providing government-funded residential housing (boende) and structured day activities (daglig verksamhet) for adults with psychological or social disabilities under LSS legislation. Services are delivered across four facilities in Fjugesta — Hantverkshuset, Sannagård, Backen, and Skättorp — and include craft workshops, animal care, farming, therapeutic services (music, painting, eurythmy, Bothmer gymnastics, baths, massage), drama/theater productions, editorial work on Sannabladet newspaper, and biannual travel programs, all guided by anthroposophic curative education and social therapy principles.

Product overview

Stiftelsen Sanna operates as a combined residential and day program facility under LSS (lagen om särskilt stöd och service) for people with psychological or social disabilities. The organization is built around anthroposophic pedagogy and social therapy principles. Its four core facilities — Hantverkshuset, Sannagård, Backen, and Skättorp — provide housing and daily activities including craft workshops (textile, smithy, ceramics, carpentry), therapies (music, painting, eurythmy, Bothmer gymnastics, baths, massage), drama/theater productions, editorial work (Sannabladet newspaper), animal care, farming, and seasonal travel programs. The facilities work together as an integrated community where residents participate in meaningful work, creative arts, and social activities guided by anthroposophic values.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights2 records

Broad incumbents

• Nytida (Ambea): Ambea's specialist disability and LSS-focused brand, providing residential support, daily activities, and schools for individuals with disabilities across Sweden. Directly comparable LSS service mix at much larger scale.
• Attendo: One of the largest Nordic private care providers, with a substantial LSS/disability services portfolio in Sweden. Comparable as a contracted LSS residential and day-activity operator, though far larger and not anthroposophical.
• Frösunda Omsorg: Swedish private LSS and disability care provider with a broad national footprint. Comparable in service category (LSS residential and daily activities) though delivered through a commercial, multi-site model rather than a foundation.
• Humana: Swedish care provider specializing in individual and family care, including LSS services for people with disabilities. Comparable in service category but operates at significantly greater scale and with a more commercial orientation.

Direct peers

• Bräcke Diakoni: Swedish non-profit foundation operating disability, elderly, and family care services with a values-based (diaconal) approach broadly analogous to Stiftelsen Sanna's anthroposophical framework. Comparable as a mission-driven, foundation-structured LSS provider.
• Camphill Communities: International network of anthroposophical/Steiner-inspired intentional communities providing residential life, craft work, and therapeutic activities for people with disabilities. Closely comparable philosophy and integrated living-working model, though operating across multiple countries.
• Värna: Affiliated anthroposophical care provider explicitly linked from Stiftelsen Sanna's website. Operates a similar LSS-style residential and day-activity model grounded in anthroposophical pedagogy, making it the closest direct peer.

Others

• Famna (Swedish Association of Health-promoting and Social Alternatives): Swedish industry association representing values-based, non-profit social and health providers, of which Stiftelsen Sanna is a member. Relevant as an ecosystem/peer network rather than a direct service competitor.

Emerging players

• Vidarkliniken: Swedish anthroposophical healthcare provider offering complementary therapies and integrative care. Comparable in philosophical foundation and holistic care orientation, though focused more on clinical outpatient services than LSS residential care.

Regional players

• Solgården (anthroposophical care, Norway): Norwegian anthroposophical residential and day-activity community serving adults with disabilities. Highly comparable model and philosophy, but located in a different Nordic country and not directly competing for Swedish municipal placements.
