Residential Group Leader Care & Support

Respectful and committed, with head, heart and hand. That is the vision of sumia. The Alterszentrum Sumiswald AG has 130 single rooms in a rural setting in the Emmental. A total of 230 employees and about 40 volunteers are dedicated around the clock to the well-being of the residents.
