Liebenau Schweiz

What Liebenau Schweiz does

Liebenau Schweiz gemeinnützige AG is a non-profit charitable stock company that operates residential elderly care across eastern Switzerland. The organization runs six care homes — Liebenau Bad Säntisblick (Waldstatt), Liebenau Bussnang, Liebenau Debora (Amriswil), Liebenau Dorfplatz (Oberhelfenschwil), Liebenau Helios (Goldach), and Liebenau Neckertal (Brunnadern) — delivering approximately 383 care places for long-term residential care, short-term stays, dementia care, day/night care, and palliative services. The portfolio also includes a Kurzentrum (rehabilitation center) with a public salt-water pool at Dorfplatz and a Mediterranean living group at Helios for Italian/Spanish-background residents. Care delivery follows the Hausgemeinschaftsmodell, a community-living concept organizing residents into small family-style groups oriented around normal daily routines and individual habits.

The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stiftung Liebenau, a German nonprofit foundation founded in 1870 that operates across five European countries (Germany, Austria, Italy, Bulgaria, Slovakia). Liebenau Schweiz was established in October 2015 when Stiftung Liebenau acquired the remaining shares of Genossenschaft Dorfplatz Oberhelfenschwil and converted the cooperative into a charitable stock company. Subsequent integrations added Helios and Neckertal in 2019, Debora in 2022, and Bussnang and Bad Säntisblick in January 2025. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is human-resource-intensive and regulated under the cantonal BESA/KLV needs-based assessment and pricing system in Switzerland. Public restaurants and catering operations at multiple facilities serve both residents and the external community, providing a secondary revenue stream and a community-engagement channel. Pricing for care is regulated and quote-based, varying by canton and individual care-needs assessment, while restaurant menu prices are publicly disclosed (CHF 16.50 mid-week, CHF 26.00+ senior menu, CHF 31.00+ Sundays).

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer combined with institutional sales through municipal partnerships (e.g., Gemeinde Neckertal Leistungsvereinbarung), community referrals, and coordination with Spitex home-care providers. Marketing is community-based — open houses, summer festivals, religious celebrations, and on-site public restaurants — rather than digital-first. Revenue is non-disclosed, but the organization reinvests surplus into service and facility development under its gemeinnützige status, with no external shareholders, private equity, or public listing. Leadership is led by CEO Reto Geiger, Commercial Director Jürgen Beck, and Finance Head Samuel Svec, under a supervisory board chaired by Thomas Häseli.
