Heime Auf Berg AG

What Heime Auf Berg AG does

Aufberg AG (legally registered as Aktiengesellschaft; previously traded as Heime Auf Berg AG) is a Swiss social care institution headquartered at Rebhaldenstrasse 25, Seltisberg, in the canton of Basel-Landschaft. Founded in 2011 and operating as a subsidiary of cura familia, the organization provides an integrated continuum of residential, ambulatory, and educational services across three client segments: children and youth (Kindergruppe G4 for ages 1–6, Schülerwohngruppen for ages 6–16, Jugendvilla for ages 15–20, and the female-youth-specific Wohngruppe Wolfbrunnen for ages 13–18), families (Mutter-Kind-Haus, Familienbegleitung, and Begleitete Besuche supervised visitations), and adults (Übergangswohnangebot für Frauen, Stationäre Wohnbegleitung, and Ambulante Wohnbegleitung). The institution operates 250 combined residential and care places across 7 locations in cantons Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft, including an integrated Sek I special education school (Schule Wolfbrunnen) and the Tagesschule Hanro day school in Liestal.

The service model rests on a trauma-sensitive, solution-oriented pedagogical methodology portfolio that includes the Equals Tool (youth development tracking), the Fenkid Concept (mindful interaction with children), the Start Now Training (emotion regulation and stress/conflict management), and the Plan B Program (school absenteeism intervention). These proprietary frameworks are applied alongside standard social-pedagogical care practices across all age cohorts.

Revenue is generated exclusively through government-funded service agreements (Leistungsvereinbarungen) with the cantons of Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft, with additional funding streams from disability assistance offices (Behindertenhilfe), municipal social services (Soziale Dienste), and victim assistance (Opferhilfe beider Basel). A cantonal tariff schedule (Tarifübersicht 2026) governs pricing, and individual clients do not pay directly; all placements require cost coverage authorization (Kostengutsprache) from KESB or other authorized authorities. The organization is IVSE-recognized (Area A), authorized by the Bundesamt für Justiz, Bündner Standard-certified (2026), and Family Lab-certified at the Wolfbrunnen residential group.

Broad incumbents

• Heilsarmee Schweiz: Swiss arm of the Salvation Army providing residential social services, family support, and housing programs. Tangentially comparable through residential programs for adults and families with psychosocial challenges.
• Schweizerisches Rotes Kreuz (SRK): National Red Cross society operating care, family assistance, and integration services. Comparable as a broader Swiss social services provider with overlapping family support and adult care mandates.
• Caritas Schweiz: Switzerland's largest social services organization offering housing support, family assistance, and integration programs nationwide. Overlaps with Aufberg's adult Wohnbegleitung and family services at a broader, less specialized scale.
• Pro Juventute Schweiz: Large national youth welfare organization offering residential care, family support, and youth counseling across Switzerland. Broader and more established than Aufberg, but tangentially overlapping on ambulatory Familienbegleitung and youth residential programs.

Direct peers

• Stiftung Kinderdorf Pestalozzi: Swiss foundation operating residential education and care programs for children and youth (Trogen campus). Comparable in providing stationary residential care combined with internal schooling, similar to Aufberg's integrated Schule Wolfbrunnen + Wohngruppe model.
• SOS-Kinderdorf Schweiz: Swiss arm of SOS Children's Villages providing residential care, family support, and youth services across multiple cantons. Directly comparable to Aufberg's children and youth residential offerings (Kindergruppe G4, Schülerwohngruppen, Jugendvilla) and ambulatory Familienbegleitung.
• frauenhaus beider Basel: Regional women's shelter organization serving Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft — the same cantons Aufberg operates in. Directly comparable to Aufberg's Frauenwohngruppe (Übergangswohnangebot für Frauen) and victim-assistance-funded services.

Others

• Terre des Hommes Schweiz: Swiss children's rights foundation focused on international development and domestic child protection advocacy. Adjacent rather than directly competing, but overlapping thematically on child welfare and ambulatory family support.
