Broad incumbents

• Clinique La Prairie: Premium Swiss health and longevity clinic based near Lausanne. Comparable as a Swiss lakeside health-services operator with strong brand positioning, though focused on preventive/longevity medicine rather than long-term elderly care.
• Orpea Suisse (ORPEA Group): Swiss subsidiary of the large European senior care operator with multiple EMS and senior living residences. Comparable to Béthanie in core offering but operates as part of a broader international portfolio with greater capital resources.

Direct peers

• Tertianum AG: Swiss premium senior living and care operator offering EMS, assisted living, and independent apartments across multiple cantons. Comparable to Béthanie's continuum-of-care positioning and emphasis on quality dining, amenitized environments, and integrated health services.
• Senevita AG: One of the largest Swiss senior care and assisted living operators with multiple EMS and senior living residences across German- and French-speaking Switzerland. Directly comparable to Béthanie in service model (long-stay, short-stay, protected apartments) and Vaud-canton catchment, but operates at significantly greater scale as a for-profit chain.
• EMS La Source (Fondation La Source): Lausanne-based EMS operating in the same Canton Vaud market and coordinating through BRIO RSRL. Directly comparable to Béthanie in geography, regulatory framework, and elderly care service model.
• Domicil Bern AG: Mid-sized Swiss EMS operator based in Bern providing long-term care, short-stay, and dementia-specialty services. Closely comparable to Béthanie in operating model and service portfolio, though primarily active in a different canton.
• Résidences Plein Soleil: Lausanne-area EMS and protected housing provider operating in the same Vaud canton catchment. Directly comparable in care services and reliance on BRIO RSRL referral pathway.

Regional players

• Fondation Belle Saison: Non-profit Swiss EMS and senior care institution with similar service portfolio including long-stay, short-stay, and protected apartments. Comparable in mission and operating model though serving a different geographic catchment.

Others

• HévivA (Association cantonale VD): The Vaud canton association of elderly care institutions of which Béthanie is a member. Comparable as a coordinating body governing salary scales, quality standards (PRP certification), and collective representation across Vaud EMS operators.
• OSAD (Organisations de Soins à Domicile): Network of Swiss home care service providers that partners with Béthanie's protected apartment residents. Comparable as a service delivery mechanism for elderly care in the Vaud region, complementing rather than competing with EMS operations.
