dahlia Verein Emmental

What dahlia Verein Emmental does

dahlia Verein Emmental is a Swiss non-profit association (Verein) operating integrated senior living, nursing, and care services across four owned facilities in the Upper Emmental region of the Canton of Bern: Eggiwil (31 rooms), Lenggen (107 single rooms, 14 double rooms, and 5 refuge places), Oberfeld (45 rooms), and Zollbrück (21 rooms), totaling over 204 residential placements. The organization delivers residential living (Leben und Wohnen), professional nursing and care (Pflege und Betreuung) with specializations in dementia and palliative care, and a Tagestreff day care program hosted at the Oberfeld location. Care delivery is differentiated by the Marte Meo video-based interaction methodology, with a Licensed Marte Meo Supervisor on staff personally certified by founder Maria Aarts.

Beyond core residential services, dahlia operates public restaurants at each location, a regional fresh-meal delivery service (Frischmahlzeitendienst) at CHF 19 per meal covering Oberemmental, and biodiverse garden areas open to residents and visitors. Revenue is generated through recurring residential care fees, per-unit day care pricing (CHF 60 full day, CHF 30 half day), meal delivery unit pricing, and transaction-fee restaurant sales. The organization is governed by a Verwaltungsrat (Board) and Geschäftsleitung (executive team), and is structurally paired with Stiftung dahlia, a charitable foundation established in 2010 and supervised by the Bernische BVG- und Stiftungsaufsicht BBSA, which raises funds for resident welfare projects beyond the operating budget.
