Bildungsstätte Sommeri in Thurgau provides living, working and training opportunities for people with cognitive impairments. With over 150 specialists, we promote independence, social inclusion and quality of life. Our services include residential housing, supported work, IV training, external housing groups, job coaching and industrial services. We are committed to sustainable integration, education and personal development — empowering people to live and work independently.

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).
