Casavita Foundation

What Casavita Foundation does

Casavita Stiftung is a non-profit foundation (Stiftung) operating four nursing homes (Pflegeheime) — Hasenbrunnen, Kannenfeld, Lehenmatt, and Vincentianum — in Basel-Stadt, Switzerland, serving approximately 240 elderly residents with long-term residential care, palliative care, dementia support, respite stays, and rehabilitation services. The foundation, originally founded in 1990 as Stiftung Eglisee and renamed to Casavita Stiftung after a relocation, has over 35 years of operating history and complements its core care portfolio with 49 age-appropriate barrier-free rental apartments (across Burgfelderstrasse and Lehenmatt/Birsstrasse locations) offering optional à la carte services such as Spitex home care, laundry, cleaning, and meals.

The organization operates as a regulated, government-mediated care services provider. Admission to its homes is routed through the Department of Long-Term Care of the Basel-Stadt Health Department, requiring a care-needs consultation before a specific home can be selected. Pricing is standardized across all four homes at a base rate of CHF 214.60 per day for accommodation, meals, and care, plus up to CHF 23.00 per day in care costs determined by RUG (Resource Utilization Groups) classification, with a portion of care costs covered by Swiss health insurance and supplementary cantonal benefits available where needed. The foundation also generates ancillary revenue from event-hall rentals at the Kannenfeld and Vincentianum locations.

Casavita outsources non-core operational services to long-standing partners — Ryago AG (catering since the late 1990s) and bardusch AG (laundry since 2004) — while retaining core nursing, care, and administration in-house. It employs qualified nursing staff including palliative care specialists, runs an apprenticeship program training 25–30 vocational trainees per year, and is governed by a Stiftungsrat (Foundation Council) with a CEO (Geschäftsführer) overseeing daily operations. As a non-profit, all surpluses are reinvested into care quality rather than distributed. Its underlying technology stack is standard administrative tooling, with no disclosed proprietary systems or AI/ML capabilities.
