Orpea Italia

What Orpea Italia does

Orpea Italia, legally emeis ITALIA S.p.A. and doing business as emeis Italia, is the Italian operating subsidiary of France-based emeis Group (formerly Orpea Group), specializing in residential and clinical care for elderly and fragile individuals. Founded in 1989 and headquartered in San Maurizio Canavese (Turin), the company employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people and operates a network of 23+ facilities across five Italian regions—Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy, Veneto, and Sardinia.

The company delivers care through three core service lines: Residenze per Anziani (RSA / Case di Riposo) for long-term elderly residential care, Cliniche di Riabilitazione Funzionale for post-acute and cardiac rehabilitation, and Case di Cura Neuropsichiatriche for specialized neuropsychiatric treatment. These are complemented by short-stay offerings (Soggiorni Brevi, including summer programs), treatment programs for specific pathologies, and additional ancillary services. Individual facilities include named residences such as Residenza Richelmy and Casa Mia Asti, reflecting a Casa Mia sub-brand applied across multiple sites.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and recurring-revenue: families and individuals contact facilities directly and pay ongoing monthly fees for accommodation, care, and medical services. Pricing is quote-based and varies by facility, room type, and clinical complexity. The company was rebranded from Orpea Italia to emeis Italia following its French parent's corporate name change, distributing stakeholder communications through newsletters (emeis 4U, Con Noi), professional education events (ECM Convegni), and owned social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube). No proprietary technology platform, AI capabilities, or digital product is disclosed.
