What tilia does

tilia Stiftung für Langzeitpflege is a Swiss non-profit foundation founded in 2003 that operates specialized long-term care facilities for adults aged 18 and older with complex medical needs. The foundation runs five locations across the Bern area — Elfenau, Köniz, Ittigen, Wittigkofen, and Ostermundigen (currently under renovation) — offering stationary long-term and transitional residential care with dedicated programs for dementia, neurological conditions, respiratory diseases (COPD), bariatric care, and palliative care. Care is delivered by interdisciplinary teams that include in-house physicians, the Fachteam Pflege (expert nursing team), physiotherapists, activation therapists, and pastoral care providers, supported by a central Beratungsstelle (consulting/admission office) with 24/7 emergency admission capability.

The foundation's operating technology stack consists of careCoach for mobile nursing documentation, ELIZA for process/quality/risk/compliance management, the interRAI LTCF CH standardized resident assessment framework (transitioned from RAI-NH in 2025), a digital meal selection system, and cleaning robots deployed at Köniz and Ittigen. The newly reopened Ittigen site (October/November 2025) adds 93 complex-care beds with a protected dementia area and a modern production kitchen, absorbing residents from the closed Steingrüebli site and the renovating Ostermundigen site.

tilia generated FY2025 total operating revenue of CHF 56.1 million, of which CHF 53.4 million came from inpatient long-term and transitional care and CHF 2.7 million from side businesses (meal delivery, cafeteria/restaurant, seminars/banquets, physiotherapy). EBITDA was CHF 5.45 million and net annual result was CHF 3.67 million before allocation to organizational capital, against total assets of CHF 117.3 million. The foundation employs approximately 650 staff, including around 90 apprentices and students from 52 nations. Care financing is split across self-payments, mandatory Swiss health insurance contributions, and canton subsidies for care levels 3-12; customer acquisition flows from hospital and physician referrals, family inquiries, and direct admissions.

Direct peers

• Senevita AG: Swiss operator of residential and nursing care homes for seniors, with multiple sites in German-speaking Switzerland. Directly comparable to tilia as a multi-site Swiss long-term and nursing care provider serving elderly and complex-care residents.
• Diakonie Bethanien: Swiss non-profit foundation operating nursing and care homes with a Christian-social mandate, focused on residential long-term care. Comparable to tilia as a Swiss foundation-based, multi-site long-term care provider with similar governance and mission structure.
• Tertianum Gruppe: One of the largest Swiss providers of residences, assisted living, and nursing care, with a national footprint. Comparable to tilia in offering residential long-term care combined with hospitality and lifestyle services in Switzerland.

Broad incumbents

• Korian Suisse: Swiss arm of European long-term and post-acute care group Korian (now CLARIANE). Operates nursing homes and assisted living facilities across Switzerland, comparable to tilia in residential long-term care delivery at national scale.
• Swiss Medical Network: Largest private hospital and clinic group in Switzerland, operating acute care facilities across multiple cantons. Comparable to tilia at the broader healthcare-services level, though Swiss Medical Network is acute-care focused and does not directly operate long-term nursing homes.
• DomusVi Suisse: Swiss operations of European long-term care operator DomusVi, providing nursing home, assisted living, and home care services in Switzerland. Comparable to tilia across the Swiss long-term and personal care spectrum.
• ORPEA Suisse: Swiss subsidiary of European long-term care group Orpea (now under Caisse des Dépôts ownership), operating nursing homes and care facilities across Switzerland. Comparable as a large, multi-site Swiss nursing and complex-care operator with broader group resources than tilia.

Emerging players

• Bethesda Spital AG: Swiss hospital and care provider in the Basel region, with geriatric and rehabilitation services overlapping tilia's transitional and complex-care work. Comparable at the intersection of post-acute and long-term care rather than direct nursing-home competition.
