Punto Service

What Punto Service does

Punto Service Cooperativa Sociale a r.l. is an Italian social cooperative founded in 1989 in Vercelli that delivers socio-healthcare and educational services primarily to elderly, frail, and disabled populations, plus minors through educational programs. The cooperative operates approximately 25+ residential care facilities (RSA, case di riposo, Alzheimer nuclei) and intermediate-care beds across four Italian regions — Piemonte, Lombardia, Liguria, and Toscana — providing accommodation, medical care, rehabilitation, and personal assistance for self-sufficient and non-self-sufficient residents. It also runs home assistance services (Assistenza Domiciliare) under both public SAD conventions and private-pay arrangements, day centers, disability support services, and RSA Aperta programs for dementia families, serving approximately 2,500 people annually with ~800 residential beds and ~1,200 worker-members (soci).

The service platform integrates residential facility management with community-based care delivery, supported by innovation programs including Senior Fitness motor training (air-compression equipment calibrated from 100 grams), neurocognitive training for cognitive decline prevention, and video-calling stations enabling residents to communicate with family via Skype, Hangouts, and FaceTime. Punto Service operates an ECM-accredited training function, an integrated quality-environment-safety-social responsibility management system, and a Milano-based R&D office, while publishing an annual Bilancio Sociale under its mutualistic cooperative structure.

Revenue is generated through multi-year managed-services contracts with public-sector clients (municipalities/comuni, ASL, IPAB, consorzi) and private-pay individuals, with daily rates for residential care varying from approximately €37.62 to €121.83 depending on self-sufficiency level and room type. The cooperative reached €60M in revenue in 2025 (versus €61M in 2020), has grown organically and via two cooperative incorporations (Nuovidea in 2011, Argentum Servizi in 2021), and pursues expansion through additional tender wins, ESG certifications, and innovation programs rather than external capital or listing.

Direct peers

• Sereni Orizzonti: Italian operator of RSA, residenze protette, and home care services with a multi-region footprint. Direct competitor in residential elderly care and home assistance with similar service-line breadth.
• Gruppo La Villa: Italian elderly care group operating RSA, centri diurni, and home care services across multiple regions. Comparable in service portfolio and target population, though structured as a for-profit group rather than a cooperative.
• KCS Caregiver: Italian cooperative group operating RSA facilities and home care services across Northern Italy. Closely comparable in service mix (residential + home care), cooperative structure, and B2G/public contract go-to-market.
• Coopselios: Major Italian social cooperative providing residential elderly care, home assistance, and educational services with multi-region presence. Highly comparable as a cooperative peer with overlapping service portfolio, public sector contracts, and similar governance model.
• Anteo Cooperativa Sociale: Italian social cooperative providing elderly residential care, home care, and social services. Direct peer in cooperative-owned multi-service model serving elderly, disabled, and minors with public sector contracts.
• Gheron: Italian operator of residential care homes (RSA) and home care services for elderly, with facilities across Northern Italy. Comparable in service offering and target segment.
• Solidarietà e Servizi Cooperativa: Italian social cooperative providing elderly care, home assistance, and social services. Direct peer in cooperative ownership model and socio-health service mix serving public sector clients.

Broad incumbents

• Kos Care: Italian healthcare and elderly care provider with residential facilities, home care, and rehabilitation services. Comparable in elderly care services but operates as a broader healthcare group with more diversified revenue and capital structure.
• Korian Italia: Italian subsidiary of European leader Korian, operating RSA, assisted living, and home care services. Comparable service offering and elderly target market, but with broader international backing and capital base than Punto Service.

Others

• Air Liquide Sanità (Home Healthcare division): While primarily a medical gases and home healthcare provider in Italy, its home health services division overlaps with Punto Service's assistenza domiciliare and remote health monitoring programs. Relevant as an adjacent/ecosystem participant rather than a direct residential care competitor.
