ANEMPA - Association neuchâteloise des établissements et maisons pour personnes âgées

What ANEMPA - Association neuchâteloise des établissements et maisons pour personnes âgées does

ANEMPA is a non-profit umbrella association (faîtière) founded in 1971 and active since 1972 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, serving as the principal representative body for non-profit medico-social institutions (EMS – Établissements médico-sociaux) in the Canton of Neuchâtel. The association coordinates 27 member institutions that collectively host approximately 1,500 elderly residents and persons with physical or psychological disabilities, employing more than 1,800 collaborators corresponding to roughly 1,300 FTE positions across care, animation, hospitality, facility management, and administration. ANEMPA's stated mission is to inform, represent, coordinate and develop shared positions among its members; it acts as the centralised interlocutor with cantonal authorities, the socio-sanitary network, media and the public, and is a signatory of the CCT Santé 21 collective labour agreement that standardises working conditions across the cantonal health sector.

ANEMPA's core 'products' are member services rather than commercial offerings: a shared ethical framework documented in publications on bientraitance, EMS as lieu de vie, COVID-19 and assisted suicide; an annual continuing education catalogue for socio-sanitary professionals delivered with partners including HE-ARC and OrTra bodies; structured apprenticeship programmes with ~186 apprentices in training across member institutions; and the roll-out of SONATE certification as a quality-assurance framework. The only documented digital product deployment is Carefolio Mobile at member institution EMS Les Sugits in November 2025, enabling smartphone-based care documentation. The association coordinates its work through statutory and non-statutory commissions (Ethics, Training, Economy, Communication, IT) and is a member of Curaviva Suisse as well as supra-cantonal federations FEGEMS, AVALEMS and AFISA.

ANEMPA's business model is that of a membership association: it does not generate commercial revenue and discloses no pricing or revenue figures. It is funded through member institution contributions and public subsidies. Its go-to-market is community-led and network-driven — members are acquired through reputation, cantonal referral, professional networks, and indirect demand generation via AROSS (the cantonal free orientation service). The General Secretariat is lean, comprising a Secretary General (Fabienne Wyss Kubler) and an Administrative Secretary, indicating that operational overhead at the association level is small relative to the scale of the network it represents.

Others

• AROSS (Association Réseau Orientation Santé Social): Cantonal coordination body for placements and orientation in Neuchâtel. ANEMPA is a strategic partner of AROSS (mutual referral relationship) rather than a peer — AROSS directs prospective residents to ANEMPA member institutions but is not itself a membership association of EMS.
• NOMAD (maintien à domicile): Cantonal home-care (spitex) service in Neuchâtel and a strategic partner of ANEMPA. NOMAD operates the home-based counterpart to EMS institutional care; the two organizations collaborate on vaccination campaigns and the institutional/home-care interface but are not direct competitors.

Direct peers

• AVALEMS (Association vaudoise des établissements médico-sociaux): Cantonal association of medico-social establishments in the Canton of Vaud, included in ANEMPA's supra-cantonal network alongside FEGEMS and AFISA. Performs an identical umbrella/representative function for non-profit EMS.
• FEGEMS (Fédération genevoise des EMS): Cantonal federation of EMS (nursing homes) in Geneva. ANEMPA actively participates in FEGEMS events and inter-EMS conferences; both organizations perform the same faîtière function for non-profit elderly care institutions at the cantonal level.
• CURAVIVA Suisse: National umbrella association of homes and social institutions in Switzerland. ANEMPA is itself a member of CURAVIVA, and the two organizations share the same representative/coordinating mandate at different geographic scales (national vs. cantonal).
• AFISA (Association fribourgeoise des institutions sociales et de santé pour personnes âgées): Cantonal association of social and health institutions for elderly persons in the Canton of Fribourg. ANEMPA participates in AFISA's supra-cantonal exchange activities; both bodies serve the same non-profit EMS coordination role within their respective cantons.
