Wohngemeinschaft Fluematt

What Wohngemeinschaft Fluematt does

WG Fluematt (Wohngemeinschaft Fluematt) is a Swiss non-profit foundation (Stiftung zur Förderung der Lebensqualität Schwerstbehinderter) operating a residential care community in Dagmersellen, Canton of Lucerne, Switzerland. Founded in 1997 and operational since April 2000, the organization provides 24/7 residential care to 19 severely physically disabled adults living in 18 half-room studios and one 3.5-room apartment, supported by a 65-person care and hospitality team (40 FTE). The care model is built on the "functional health" concept, emphasizing maximum self-determination, individualized planning, and barrier-free infrastructure.

The organization's service portfolio comprises five components: (1) Wohnen — residential living with 24/7 support; (2) Tagesstruktur — a day structure program where residents engage in pottery, painting, sewing, and woodworking; (3) ActivIO Shop — an on-site retail shop selling handcrafted products made by residents; (4) Café im Grünen — a public cafeteria open daily with catering for events; and (5) Fahrdienst — an in-house wheelchair-accessible transportation service. The Tagesstruktur workshop doubles as the production engine for the shop, creating a circular activity-and-micro-revenue model.

The business model is primarily direct-to-consumer and donation-funded. Core revenue derives from residential care contracts, Swiss health insurance, and government subsidies determined by individual care-needs assessments under a published tariff schedule. Supplementary revenue comes from handcrafted product sales (CHF 6-45 unit pricing), cafeteria and catering transactions, and charitable donations — including purpose-marked and memorial donations. The organization is backed by four institutional founding partners: Albert Koechlin Stiftung, the municipality of Dagmersellen, SUVA, and the Swiss Paraplegic Foundation Basel. The go-to-market motion is minimal: newsletters, local community events (including GEDA 2026), word-of-mouth referrals, and a basic informational website, with no digital advertising or paid acquisition channels. The entity is governed by a ten-member Board of Trustees and a four-person leadership team led by Angelika Voser Meier (Managing Director).
