Companionship and Care for People with Dementia in Old Age 10-60%

Respectful and committed with head, heart and hand – that is what sumia stands for. In our retirement home in Sumiswald, we offer 130 residents a personal and safe home in the rural Emmental. Around 230 employees and 40 volunteers dedicate themselves daily with passion to the well-being of our residents.

When calm slowly sets in during the evening, a valuable task begins for you: You accompany our residents with dementia through the evening hours, join them at mealtimes and shape the evening ritual. You give attention and security and create a pleasant atmosphere. At the same time, you relieve our nursing staff and give them valuable time for their nursing duties.
