RegioSpitex Limmattal

What RegioSpitex Limmattal does

RegioSpitex Limmattal is a public, non-profit Spitex (home care and nursing) organization founded in 2008 and headquartered at Urdorferstrasse 100, Schlieren, Switzerland, co-located at the Spital Limmattal site. It operates under a formal service mandate from the municipalities of Dietikon, Schlieren, and Urdorf, serving residents who require nursing, care, household, or psychosocial support to remain living independently at home due to age, illness, disability, or accident. The organization delivered care to 1,344 customers in 2025 across approximately 58,995 to 69,719 service hours, executing roughly 310 missions per day with staff traveling approximately 270,000 km annually.

The service portfolio is organized into three layers: core nursing and care (Beratung, Pflege, Hauswirtschaft, Psychosoziale Pflege, Nachtspitex, Notrufsystem), specialized care (Dementia, Wound/Stoma/Continence, Palliative, Kinesiology), and adjacent services including family caregiver support and the new BELA pilot for care and relief. Technology infrastructure is operational rather than differentiating — Beekeeper for internal communication, MyAbacus for HR/payroll, and the opancare.ch online registration portal for client intake. No public APIs, AI capabilities, or proprietary technology platforms are disclosed.

Revenue is generated through billable service hours partially covered by Swiss mandatory health insurance (KVG), long-term care insurance, and municipal subsidies under the public mandate. Pricing follows a usage-based per-service-hour model with periodic tariff adjustments (most recently raising the short-notice cancellation fee from CHF 40 to CHF 60 effective June 1, 2026). Customer acquisition flows through municipal authorization, hospital and physician referrals within the Gesundheitsnetzwerk Limmattal, and direct self-referral. The organization employs 130–139 staff across care, household, and administrative functions, with leadership transitioning from CEO Manfred Hertach (departing July 1, 2026) to Gabriel Bürgisser effective September 1, 2026.
