Alterssiedlung Grenchen

What Alterssiedlung Grenchen does

Avenita, formerly Alterssiedlung Grenchen, operates two elderly-care facilities in Grenchen, Canton Solothurn, Switzerland: Avenita Kastels at Kastelsstrasse 31 and Avenita Weinberg at Däderizstrasse 106. The organization serves older residents requiring long-term housing, nursing, and support services, and structures its offering across four service pillars: Wohnen (residential living), Pflege und Betreuung (nursing and personal care), Vitalität (wellness and activity programming), and Gastronomie (catering/dining). A short-term trial residency option (Kurzzeitvertrag) is offered with a minimum two-week term and seven-day cancellation notice, broadening the entry point beyond permanent placement.

The underlying operation is a traditional Swiss residential care home model rather than a technology platform. Day-to-day service delivery is delivered by on-site care, hospitality, and culinary staff using the RAI-based care classification framework standard in Swiss nursing homes; no proprietary technology stack, digital resident platform, or AI tooling is disclosed. Service capacity and bed counts are not published.

Revenue mechanics combine three streams: (i) resident-paid daily or monthly fees covering room, board, and care, (ii) Ergänzungsleistungen (EL) — Swiss federal/cantonal supplementary benefits that top up resident payments for those who qualify, and (iii) out-of-pocket contributions from residents above the EL-covered amount. The organization operates as a non-corporate or non-profit entity historically tied to the Grenchen municipality, and is identified as an important regional employer in Canton Solothurn. No public funding rounds, debt issuance, M&A activity, or external investor base are disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Residential Care Services: Long-term and short-term residential care services for elderly individuals. Revenue is generated through a combination of resident payments, supplementary benefits (Ergänzungsleistungen/EL) from cantonal social insurance, and out-of-pocket payments. For residents from outside Canton Solothurn, cost coverage approval from their home canton or municipality is required for costs beyond self-payment capacity.
