Working with referring physicians
Finding a care bed in three simple steps
There are times when we must act quickly. That is why we, at Tertianum, ensure that the administration around our admission process is smooth and fast. Follow the three steps below to find the care bed you need:
Check for available care beds
The availability overview will show you at once which Tertianum locations currently have available care beds. Do your patients have specific care or medical needs? You can also check this in the list so that you find the most suitable care bed.
Select the nursing care place
Click on the required care room to view the contact details of the relevant Tertianum facility. Feel free to call us to discuss the next steps in the allocation process. Together, we can then clarify the medical and care needs of your patient and determine the administrative process as well as the date of admission.
Allocation
Once the care bed has been reserved for your patient, you can submit all of the required documents. If you prefer to do this online, a number of Tertianum homes offer convenient allocation using the OPAN online patient registration page.
The advantage of Tertianum for you
Our goal is to simplify the allocation of your patients as much as possible. We do this by ensuring that the bureaucratic and administrative tasks are kept to a minimum. We commit to short waiting times and provide availability in roughly 90 sites across Switzerland.

Long-term care
We offer our guests individualized long-term care tailored to various caregiving needs. Our staff provides care for our guests with competence, empathy, and affection. For even more quality of life.
Short-term & respite care
Are you temporarily unable to care for your dependent loved ones due to holidays, unforeseen events, or similar circumstances? We offer your loved ones a safe environment around the clock during a short-term stay, with caring support, good company, and comfortable services. The personal and caregiving needs of our guests are promptly assessed to provide individualized care.
Acute & transitional care
Back to independence: If care is still needed after a hospital stay, we support our guests with therapeutic measures — these include, as needed, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, activation, and occupational therapy.
Day and night care
Are you unable to care for your dependent loved ones on certain days or nights due to work or other circumstances? Our guests can spend one or more weekdays with us, depending on their needs. Weekend or overnight stays are also possible if required. This is especially suitable for people with dementia who are cared for and supported by their family members at home.
Supportive care in your own home
Our goal is to enable you to live as independently and unburdened as possible for as long as possible. In our apartments, we support you in your daily life and ensure that you remain as autonomous as possible. The qualified staff of our home care service (Spitex) specifically address your wishes and needs, and we are ready to respond around the clock in case of emergencies.
Care Specializations
- Dementia care
- Geriatric rehabilitation
- Neurological long-term care
- Palliative care
Dementia care
We meet the individual needs of people with dementia and ensure a safe environment and compassionate care. You can entrust the care of your loved ones to us with peace of mind, knowing that they are in good hands with us.
Geriatric rehabilitation
During geriatric rehabilitation, we help people regain independence after an accident, illness, or surgery. We guide our guests professionally and compassionately on their path to recovery.
Neurological long-term care
Our services are aimed at people who are motorically and cognitively impaired as a result of a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or neurological diseases. We provide competent, compassionate care, support, and guidance tailored to their specific medical needs.
Palliative care
Accompanying and supporting people in their final phase of life requires much experience and empathy. Together with the individual and their family, we develop a care and treatment plan that addresses the key aspects of palliative care.
Tertianum’s approach to care is based on the rights of our guests to self-determination and autonomy, while ensuring their safety.
- We specifically address the needs of our guests in the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual realms, along with the dimensions of palliative care and a self-determined end of life.
- We ensure the continuous promotion of each guest’s existing abilities and support them in maintaining or improving their quality of life
Aligned with our philosophy of care, the desire for self-determination at the end of life is respected. Self-determination does not end with dying. For this reason, Tertianum also advocates for the option of assisted suicide through a professional end-of-life organization. This support for assisted suicide underscores our commitment to the self-determination and autonomy of our guests.
