CMS Bas-Valais

What CMS Bas-Valais does

CMS Bas-Valais is a Swiss private-law non-profit association, recognized as being of public utility, headquartered in Monthey in the canton of Valais. It was created in March 2020 by merging several previously separate medico-social sites in the districts of Monthey and Saint-Maurice. The organization is governed by a Committee composed of representatives from its 16 member communes and directed by Gérard Moulin, with department heads overseeing Aide et Soins, Finances et Infrastructures, Ressources Humaines, and Social services. It employs more than 300 multidisciplinary professionals and operates three physical sites (Monthey, Saint-Maurice, Vouvry).

The organization delivers integrated home-based medical and social services. Its core portfolio centers on Aide et soins à domicile — nursing care (including palliative, wound, diabetes, psychiatric, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy) delivered 7 days per week, 24 hours per day under medical mandate — supplemented by dietetics, home safety advisories, practical household help, auxiliary equipment, preventive home visits, meals-on-wheels (365 days/year), pediatric and parent-child services, the Double-Croche day-care structure, social financial aid, socio-professional integration, and caregiver (proches aidants) support. Intake is routed through a central telephone hotline, with services coordinated by multidisciplinary field teams and integration into a regional care ecosystem that includes Hôpital Riviera Chablais, Hôpital du Valais, Réseau Santé Haut-Léman, SECOSS-SOMEKO, AVALEMS, ProSenectute, and the Groupement valaisan des CMS.

The business model is a cantonal-mandate reimbursement structure. Healthcare services are paid through the mandatory health insurance system (LaMal) and complementary insurance under medical prescription; social services are funded under cantonal social integration law through mandates from the Service of Public Health and the Service of Social Action. Home-help and meal services may carry income-proportional client co-payments, and some preventive services are free when not followed by care provision. The model is non-commercial by design, with no disclosed revenue, no external investors, and a non-profit mandate focused on enabling residents of 16 communes to remain in their homes rather than enter institutional care.
