What Korian does

Korian is the Italian brand of Clariane, a Paris-based European healthcare group that operates over 1,000 facilities with approximately 88,000 beds across France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Spain. In Italy, the legal entity Segesta2000 S.r.l. (headquartered in Milan) delivers a comprehensive care platform spanning residential care for the elderly (RSA Case di Riposo, Centri Diurni, Appartamenti Protetti), home healthcare (Cure Domiciliari), medical services (Kormed brand: Poliambulatori, Case di Cura, Centri di Riabilitazione, Comunità Psichiatriche, Hospice), and disability care services. The portfolio covers more than 100 facilities across at least seven Italian regions, including Lombardia, Lazio, Piemonte, Puglia, Sardegna, Toscana, and Valle d'Aosta, with notable concentrations in Milan, Rome, Turin, and Bari.

The business model is asset-heavy and services-based: Korian generates revenue through long-duration residential care contracts, per-service fees for medical and rehabilitation care, and home care service charges. The company targets three primary customer segments — elderly individuals requiring varying levels of dependency support, people with physical, cognitive, or psychiatric disabilities, and homebound patients preferring in-home medical care — with medical facilities and specialists serving as referral channels. The core technology layer is described as a "care services platform with digital health coordination tools," and the company has no public API, SDK, or mobile application, relying instead on direct facility-based service delivery supplemented by the Spazio Salute health portal for Alzheimer's education and family engagement.

Distribution is direct-to-consumer through owned facilities, supported by a contact center (800100510) and a corporate website (korian.it) with regional landing pages. The Italian operations are part of Clariane's broader European platform, which recently secured a EUR 150 million European Investment Bank loan for German co-living expansion (January 2026) and entered a partnership with Blink Charging to deploy EV charging infrastructure across 90+ Belgium locations (March 2026). Korian holds the Top Employer Italia 2026 certification and operates supporting sub-brands including RistoCloud (catering) and Korian Plus/Kormed Plus service extensions.
