Buying a care service in Switzerland
A useful first comparison of a care service should connect the asking price with operating evidence, contractual rights and a workable transfer. Staff shortages, rising care intensity, safeguarding issues and premises that fail future standards can create material cost and approval risk.
Commercial evidence behind a care service
Compare occupied capacity, care intensity, reimbursement, private fees, staffing ratios and agency labour. Test profitability by resident or care package rather than total revenue.
Evidence to verify before acquiring a care service
Inspect operating permission, quality reports, staffing qualifications, care records, incident and complaint files, premises, fire safety and payer agreements.
Transfer customers, systems and know-how in a care service
Plan resident and family communication, clinical responsibility, staff retention, records, medication and emergency processes before completion.
