Fondation Aide et Soins à domicile

What Fondation Aide et Soins à domicile does

Fondation pour l'Aide et les Soins à domicile (FASD), founded in 2000, is a Swiss non-profit foundation headquartered in Delémont that provides integrated home help and home nursing services across Canton Jura. The organization operates through seven regional service sites covering all municipalities of the canton and employs approximately 440 staff. Its service offering comprises five core lines: home help (aide à domicile, covering household maintenance, meal preparation, and daily living support), home nursing care (soins à domicile delivered on medical prescription under OPAS tariffs), family caregiver advisory and preventive visits (conseils aux proches), health prevention and promotion at primary/secondary/tertiary levels, and end-of-life home accompaniment including night on-call nursing.

The underlying operating model is direct service delivery to patients' homes via employed nursing staff and home helpers, with no intermediary resellers. Services run seven days a week from 7:30 to 20:00 and are coordinated with physicians, hospitals, Croix-Rouge Jura, social services, and partner institutions (Résidence médico-sociale Clair-Logis, Foyer de Saint-Ursanne, HE-arc santé). Revenue is generated primarily through usage-based hourly tariffs: nursing tariffs (CHF 52.60-76.90/hour) are set by the Federal Council under OPAS and reimbursed by basic health insurance, while home help tariffs are set by the canton and may be covered by supplementary insurance or income-based contributions. A secondary revenue stream comes from donations, and the foundation is exploring a new caregiver-employee (proches-aidants) pilot program. Quality standardization is being pursued jointly with CURAVIVA Jura and SERAINO through the QUAFISA quality standard introduced in late 2025.
