Stiftung Egnach provides a comprehensive living environment for adolescents and adults with cognitive disabilities. In familiar shared homes, we promote independence, daily-life skills and quality of life—365 days a year with mindful support. Our work programs offer sheltered jobs in industry, housekeeping, kitchen, logistics and technical services, complemented by structured day programs and creative workshops. Through training and education (e.g., PrA), we strengthen personal development and participation. Donations help fund assistive resources, improved infrastructure and meaningful holiday and activity camps.

The housing and employment offer is aimed at people with mental, addiction-related and cognitive impairments. Our offer is aimed at adult men and women. We support and encourage the residents on their way to independence and personal responsibility. Depending on the residents' requirements, we support them in setting short and medium-term goals regarding their life situation and accompany them in their realization. The offer of a residential and daily structure conveys value and security. The small size of the institution makes it possible to respond to the individual needs of the residents. Findings from social work, psychotherapy, system therapy and pastoral care are incorporated, as are those from education and medicine. Our foundation is IVSE-recognized and meets the basic quality standards of the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden. We are qualified and audited according to the normative principles of SODK Ost+ (quality guidelines for facilities for adults with disabilities).
