What Oase does
Oase Gruppe is a privately held Swiss senior-living and care services provider headquartered in Dübendorf, Switzerland, operating through parent entity Oase Holding AG. Founded in 2012 with the opening of Oase am Rhein in Eglisau, the group has grown to nine operational senior centers across German-speaking Switzerland (locations in Zurich Unterland, Zurich, Canton Solothurn, and Canton Graubünden), with the most recent — Oase Bassersdorf — opening in April 2026 and seven additional projects announced for delivery by 2030. The company employs more than 450 staff across its network.
Oase's core proposition combines independent senior apartments (1.5 to 5.5 rooms) with integrated on-site care infrastructure — including care studios, care rooms, protected dementia living groups, and palliative care — under a single operating concept designed to eliminate the need for residents to relocate as their health needs change. All care beds are eligible for financing through Swiss Ergänzungsleistungen (supplementary benefits), positioning Oase in the mid-market rather than the luxury tier. The portfolio is delivered through a hub-and-spoke structure: a centralized Oase Service AG provides shared back-office functions (HR, finance, nursing management) to each legally separate center-level operating entity. Quality is anchored by ISO 9001:2015 certification across all sites and LEA PLATIN workplace certifications at Churwalden and Lindenhof Wetzikon.
The business model is recurring and contract-based: monthly apartment rentals bundled with a service package (24-hour emergency call, cleaning, events, reception, priority care placement, utilities), supplemented by monthly care fees for studio/room residents and ancillary hotel and hospitality revenue (meals, laundry, hairdressing, physiotherapy, podology). Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, relying on walk-in inquiries at each center, central coordination through Oase Service AG, and municipal partnerships that take multiple forms (100% private operation, mixed public-private, contract management of public homes, and build-to-suit). A new 2026-launched product line, Oase Dähei, extends the model into home-based accompaniment services. Customer segments span healthy seniors, care-needing seniors, dementia patients, palliative-care residents, short-term/respite users, and — at select locations — multi-generational residents. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed; no external investors, private equity, or venture capital involvement is reported.

Oase competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Sunrise Senior Living: Sunrise is a UK-headquartered senior living operator with a global footprint offering assisted living, independent living, and dementia care. Comparable integrated service offering to Oase's combination of apartments, care studios, and dementia care, though at much larger scale across multiple geographies.
- Orpea (now Emeis): Orpea/Emeis is a major European long-term care, post-acute, and senior living operator with facilities across France, Germany, Spain, and other markets. Comparable integrated nursing and assisted-living portfolio at scale, providing industry benchmark rather than direct Swiss competition.
- Atria Senior Living: Atria is one of the largest senior living operators in North America, operating ~400+ communities including independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Comparable integrated CCRC-like model, useful as a broad-incumbent reference though operating in a different regulatory market.
- Korian Group: Korian is one of Europe's largest senior care and assisted living operators with thousands of facilities across France, Germany, Italy, and Benelux. Provides a broad-incumbent benchmark for the European integrated senior care model, though its Swiss footprint is limited compared to Oase.
Direct peers
- Senevita: Senevita operates a network of mid-market senior residences and care homes across German-speaking Switzerland, including dementia and palliative offerings. Highly comparable operating model and customer segment to Oase, with similar reliance on Ergänzungsleistungen financing.
- Tertianum: Tertianum is Switzerland's largest premium senior living and care operator, with ~80+ residences offering independent living, assisted living, and care. Closest direct peer to Oase's integrated apartment-plus-care model, though positioned at the upper end of the price spectrum versus Oase's mid-market focus.
- Sonnweid: Sonnweid is a Swiss specialist in dementia and palliative care with a renowned small-scale residential concept. Comparable to Oase's protected dementia care groups and family-style care living groups, though smaller scale and centered in eastern Switzerland.
- VIVA Pflege & Gesundheitszentrum: VIVA operates senior living and care residences in German-speaking Switzerland, offering comparable combinations of independent apartments, assisted living, and skilled nursing. Similar mid-market positioning and scale to Oase's existing centers.
Regional players
- Domicil: Domicil operates senior and care homes primarily in the Canton of Bern region of Switzerland. Comparable service model (residential + care) but geographic focus is on Bern rather than Zurich Unterland, making it a regional rather than direct competitor to Oase.
- Stiftung Alterszentren Region Rüti-Wetzikon: Stiftung AZRUW is a regional non-profit senior care provider in the Zurich Oberland/Wetzikon area where Oase also operates. Competes for the same Canton of Zurich subsidized care residents and labor pool; a relevant regional peer particularly given Oase's Wetzikon presence (Oase Wetzikon and Oase Lindenhof Wetzikon).
