Alters- und Pflegeheim Steinfeld

What Alters- und Pflegeheim Steinfeld does

Alters- und Pflegeheim Steinfeld is a Swiss non-profit foundation (Stiftung) operating an integrated elderly care facility under the governance and ownership of the Gemeinde Suhr (Municipality of Suhr) in Canton Aargau. The foundation runs two operating divisions: the stationary Pflegezentrum Steinfeld — a nursing home with approximately 38+ single rooms organized across four care departments (Kristall, Smaragd, Saphir, Rubin) and offering long-term care, short-term/respite stays, and palliative care including permitted assisted suicide — and Spitex Steinfeld Suhr, an outpatient home-care service merged into the foundation on January 1, 2023, that delivers nursing care, household support, meal delivery, wound care, psychiatric nursing, and Krankenmobilien (medical equipment rental) to clients in their own homes across the municipality. Ancillary services include an in-house restaurant and café (open daily to the public), podology, hairdressing, and chaplaincy from both Protestant and Catholic providers.

The business model is fee-for-service and non-profit. Residential revenue is generated via daily care taxen (Pflegetaxen) priced by BESA classification and reviewed annually by the Stiftungsrat; Spitex revenue is billed against health insurance (KVG) with patient deductibles, 10% co-insurance, and a capped daily patient contribution (CHF 15.35/day), while household services are self-pay; ancillary revenue comes from restaurant and meal-delivery usage and an annual CHF 40 Gönnerverein membership. The foundation is explicitly self-sustaining and receives no external financial contributions. Go-to-market is community-led: direct admission, doctor and hospital referrals, the quarterly "de Steifälder" newspaper, public events, and the supporting municipality's own communications channels. Technology is operational rather than differentiating: BESA documentation and Lobos IT for care status, billing classification, and audit readiness, with no AI/ML components disclosed. Strategic positioning rests on the full stationary-to-ambulatory care continuum under one foundation, the house-doctor model via partnership with Ärztegemeinschaft Suhr, and the integration of complementary services (transport via MiA and SRK, equipment via Spitex Hilfsmittelshop, palliative via Spitex Suhrental Plus). A permanent leadership transition to Oliver Schnappauf as Geschäftsleiter effective August 1, 2026 concludes a period of interim management.

Direct peers

• Senevita AG: Senevita AG operates a portfolio of senior residences and integrated care services across multiple Swiss cantons, offering both residential and ambulatory services. It is a direct structural peer to Steinfeld's integrated stationary + Spitex model, though at significantly greater scale and as a commercial (not municipal) operator.
• Stadt Zürich Pflegezentren: The City of Zurich operates municipal Pflegezentren (nursing homes) providing residential elder care under municipal governance. It is a direct structural peer to Steinfeld as a Swiss municipal-owned nursing home foundation with comparable service portfolio and governance structure, though at substantially larger scale within Zurich.
• Domicil AG: Domicil AG operates nursing homes and senior residences in the Bern region, including the municipal Alterszentrum operations. It is a direct comparable as a Swiss regional nursing home operator with comparable service mix (residential care, meals, activities) and similar municipal/regional governance orientation.
• Tertianum Gruppe: Tertianum is one of Switzerland's largest premium senior living and care operators, offering residential care, assisted living, and hospitality services across multiple sites. While positioned at a higher price point than Steinfeld, it competes for the same Swiss elderly resident pool and offers overlapping service categories (accommodation, meals, nursing care).

Others

• Pro Senectute: Pro Senectute is Switzerland's leading specialist organization for elderly services, providing information, counseling, and support across all cantons. As an existing referral partner of Steinfeld, it operates in the same elder services ecosystem and channels elderly clients into care services comparable to those Steinfeld provides.
• Curaviva Schweiz: Curaviva is the Swiss industry association for care institutions (Heime und Institutionen). It is a comparable ecosystem organization representing the Swiss residential care sector, including many municipal and foundation-based operators similar to Steinfeld, providing industry benchmarking and policy advocacy.
• Spitex Verband Schweiz: Spitex Verband Schweiz is the national umbrella organization of non-profit Spitex providers, of which Spitex Steinfeld Suhr is a member. It is an ecosystem counterpart rather than a competitor, providing industry standards, advocacy, and referral infrastructure for Swiss home care operators comparable to Steinfeld's Spitex division.

Broad incumbents

• Clariane Suisse (formerly ORPEA): Clariane (which rebranded from ORPEA) operates senior care facilities across Switzerland as part of a broader European care platform. It overlaps with Steinfeld on residential elderly care and ambulatory services but competes from a multi-country platform with materially greater capital and operational resources.
