EMS Le Phare-Elim

What EMS Le Phare-Elim does

EMS Le Phare-Elim is a non-profit medico-social establishment (EMS) located in La Tour-de-Peilz, Canton of Vaud, Switzerland. Operated by the Salvation Army (Armée du Salut) Switzerland under a values-based framework that includes an alcohol-free environment, the facility provides long-term residential care for dependent elderly persons whose home-care options have been exhausted. The establishment operates 46 beds (22 single rooms, 12 double rooms) and delivers 24/7 nursing and medical care, physiotherapy, ergotherapy, catering with a "Fourchette Verte" (Green Fork) nutritional label, spiritual care, animation/activities, and on-site technical and safety services.

The facility's core revenue streams are long-term residential stays (subscription/recurring billing) and the Centre d'Accueil Temporaire (CAT), a day care service open Monday-Friday that supports seniors living at home and provides respite for family caregivers. Pricing is publicly disclosed via downloadable rate documents, with single rooms featuring private WC/shower available at a daily supplement. The go-to-market is direct: families, caregivers, and the canton health system refer residents, supplemented by Salvation Army network channels and a presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

Underlying technology is standard medical-social infrastructure — 24/7 nursing care platforms, physiotherapy/ergotherapy services, internal technical maintenance, and fire safety and energy management — with no proprietary technology, AI/ML systems, APIs, or digital platform components disclosed. The organization is governed by Salvation Army Switzerland, has no venture or equity ownership, and discloses no revenue, patents, or technology integrations.
