Pro Senectute Arc Jurassien

What Pro Senectute Arc Jurassien does

Pro Senectute Arc Jurassien is a Swiss nonprofit foundation (Fondation Pro Senectute - pour la Vieillesse - Arc jurassien) founded in 2005 and headquartered in Delémont, Jura, that provides a comprehensive service platform for seniors aged 60+ across the Arc jurassien region, spanning the cantons of Jura, Neuchâtel, and Jura bernois. The foundation is one of 24 regional organizations that constitute the national Pro Senectute Switzerland network and operates four local offices (Delémont headquarters, Neuchâtel, La Chaux-de-Fonds, and Tavannes). Its service portfolio covers free social consultation on finances, health, housing, mobility, and social life; paid home meal delivery (208,956 meals annually, 365 days per year); volunteer home visits; administrative and fiscal support; personal disposition planning (Docupass); leisure, culture, and sports programs including the "Ça bouge à la maison" TV gym program; intergenerational volunteer programs (win3); and training courses in IT, languages, and retirement preparation.

The foundation's underlying technology stack is modest and operationally focused: a CMS-driven website (arcjurassien.prosenectute.ch) with online activity registration, e-commerce gift voucher functionality, and donations processed through RaiseNow with PostFinance and TWINT integration. There is no disclosed proprietary software product, no mobile application, no API surface, and no AI/ML component. Programmatic content (e.g., "Ça bouge à la maison") is produced as a TV/media property in collaboration with regional partners.

The revenue model is donation-led: the foundation is ZEWO-certified, recognized as being of public utility, and relies on donations, bequests, and legacy giving as its primary funding streams, supplemented by paid home meal delivery and gift voucher sales. Most core services (social consultation, administrative support, home visits) are provided free of charge. In 2025, the foundation recorded 15,406 hours of social consultation and 9,290 hours of organized activities, with 51 new volunteers engaged, demonstrating a high-volunteer, low-paid-headcount operating model (15 employees) anchored in community trust and cantonal partnerships rather than commercial monetization.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves1 record

Broad incumbents

• Tertianum: Largest Swiss private senior living and care provider operating residences, assisted living, and home services nationally. Comparable in senior care market but operates on a commercial fee-for-service model versus Pro Senectute's donation-funded nonprofit model.
• Caritas Schweiz: Large Swiss social services nonprofit addressing poverty, family support, and elder care across Switzerland. Comparable as a donation-funded national nonprofit serving vulnerable populations including seniors, but with a much broader mandate.
• Senevita: Swiss operator of senior residences, assisted living, and home care services. Comparable in elder care service delivery but as a commercial operator with residential focus rather than a community-based nonprofit.
• Schweizerisches Rotes Kreuz (Swiss Red Cross): National humanitarian organization running senior support, home visit, and migration programs in Switzerland. Comparable due to volunteer-driven home visit services and senior-focused programs, though it operates a far broader humanitarian mandate.

Direct peers

• Pro Senectute Bern: Sister regional Pro Senectute organization serving Canton Bern, including Bernese Jura. Same brand, governance framework, and service lines; relevant as a same-network peer serving adjacent cantons with similar rural/regional demographics.
• Spitex Schweiz: National association of Swiss home care service providers (Spitex). Comparable because Spitex delivers in-home care services to seniors in the same regions; differs in that Spitex focuses on clinical/personal care while Pro Senectute delivers social services and meals.
• Pro Senectute Vaud: Sister regional Pro Senectute organization serving seniors in Canton Vaud. Directly comparable mandate (social consultation, home services, activities, donations-funded nonprofit), with analogous service portfolio but operating in a larger and more urban canton.
• Pro Senectute Genève: Sister regional Pro Senectute organization serving Canton Geneva. Same brand and service lines; provides comparison point for a French-speaking urban regional structure versus the Arc jurassien's more rural footprint.

Regional players

• CMS Fribourg (Centre Médico-Social): Cantonal medical-social center network delivering home care and social services in Canton Fribourg. Comparable regional home and social care provider serving seniors in an adjacent francophone Swiss canton.

Others

• Age Stiftung: Swiss foundation funding innovation in elder care and aging-in-place. Comparable as a foundation operating in the Swiss elder services ecosystem, though it functions as a grantmaker rather than a direct service provider.
