Open, friendly, cheerful: The KONTIKI is committed to helping each other and to providing a relaxed atmosphere. Due to the limited space, this often demands great improvisation and patience. Let’s have a look inside:

This includes finding a place where they feel at home, surrounded by helpful, kind people and where they have a chance to pursue a meaningful employment. KONTIKI has been aiming to achieve these values for years. It is my wish that KONTIKI can stand up for the dignified lives of our handicapped fellow human beings in the best possible way in the future.»

At lunchtime, everyone dines in the dining room, where homemade red toadstools – made of papier mâché – are placed on the tables at this time of the year. «That’s an important moment of the day, when we all come together,» Oscar Schmid, head of the institution, says. «We should do everything so that people with disabilities can live as happily as possible and find a good place in our society. They are people like you and me, except that they are born with a disability or have to manage restrictions all their life. I stand with my name for the KONTIKI and his intentions and plans for the future and wish the people in charge all the best.»

Josef Ingold Auditor, Subingen 16 THE CONCEPT FOR THE USERS WILL BE EXTENDED
According to architect Benedikt Graf, the buildings of KONTIKI were from the be- ginning planned to facilitate change and to allow the construction of new buildings. The architecture firm «Graf Stampfli Jenni Architekten AG» in Solothurn has extensive experience in planning nursing institutions and residential homes.

The architect, who is very ex- perienced in the care and residential home sector, particularly points out the newly created activation area for the so-called «Goldies»: «This is very important so the pensioners do not spend the entire day in their residential units only. »
18 «It is important for our region, but beyond that, that there are facilities like KONTIKI. Here, our people with disabilities are best cared for and looked after. To maintain high standards in the future the residential home needs structural extension. And since the institution is not in a position to achieve this on its own, the solidarity of all of us is important.» Raoul Stampfli Attorney at law, Solothurn «Getting along in today‘s world is not easy - not even for people without disabilities. Therefore it is of paramount importance that places like the KONTIKI Residential Home exist. It is essential as well that the structures of the KONTIKI are perfectly adapted to the people who work and live there.»

Therefore, the public bus transportation company BSU has been investing in mobility for all for years, in close cooperation with the canton and the municipalities.
