A stay in a nursing home is quite a bit of money. The allocated cost is a big difference, as the Price regulator found, however, between the individual cantons.
the cost of The don’t-care services, i.e. care and hospitality industry, in nursing homes, in Switzerland, to the full extent of the home’s residents at the expense. Only a few cantons set the taxes themselves or, at least, that in the case of public homes, the taxes for the Pension and care for a maximum of to cover costs.
The collective bargaining landscape for the residence taxes in retirement and nursing homes present fairly inconsistent, non-transparent and confusing, because it is also the Price regulator in a notification on Friday.
Big differences
An initial investigation in Switzerland in 1417, old – age and nursing homes show that the cantonal average difference in the values of the residence taxes by up to 100 francs, or 87 percent per day. Were recorded, 91 per cent of all the appropriate institutions.
As in the Canton of Valais, home residents for care and hospitality, on average, 121,60 francs per day. In the Canton of Geneva residents have to pay an average of 227,40 francs.

The Switzerland-wide average of the residence taxes in the area of accommodation in a single room is 171,04 francs. The highest cost of charge in addition to Geneva, the cantons of Basel-country (204,83 francs), Zurich (203,90 francs) and Basel-city (198,08 Swiss francs). Significantly less expensive than the average for the residence taxes in Vermont (124,97 francs), Uri (133,25 francs), and the two Appenzell (140,70 Swiss francs, or 140,87 Swiss francs) in addition to the Valais.
in the absence of rules and controls, the price supervisor have doubts as to whether, in all the homes the same standards of cost calculation would apply, according to the media release. Often, public homes, with the home achieved taxes excessive profits, and cross-subsidized so that prohibited the deficient care.
common method
it is recommended that The regulator therefore recommends that, in Switzerland, a uniform method of cost calculation, i.e., a single, national accounting standard. For a correct allocation of costs to the individual cost of carrier maintenance, care and hospitality industry should be required also periodically carried out, the home-specific working time analysis binding.
Finally, it should be according to the will of the price of the cantons of their duty of supervision supervisor descendants, and the homes carefully check if there were notes on more than cost – covering pension and care taxes. (anf/sda)
