Assiste

What Assiste does

Assiste (ASS.I.S.TE SCS) is an Italian social cooperative (Cooperativa Sociale) founded on July 20, 2000 in Torino, operating with over 450 members and collaborators across Piemonte (Torino, Moncalieri, Collegno, Alba, Pinerolo) and Lombardia (Milano). The cooperative delivers a multi-vertical portfolio of sociosanitario, educational, and occupational health services under several sub-brands: Ass.I.s.te Care (home-based domiciliary assistance including SAD and ADI, nursing, physiotherapy, telemedicine with RX/ECG diagnostics, and 24/7 telesoccorso monitoring operated from the Ville Roddolo center); Ville Roddolo (a 137-bed RSA residential and rehabilitation facility in Moncalieri with CAVS continuity-of-care beds); Ass.I.s.te Kids (nurseries and bilingual kindergartens including Gli Amici di Pimpa, ArTO, La Certosa, and Il Piccolo Mulino); Industrial Healthcare (occupational medicine, infirmary management, and BLSD training for national industrial employers); Hospital Services (nursing and support staffing for ASL presidios including San Giovanni Bosco, Martini, Gradenigo, Maria Vittoria, and Santa Croce di Moncalieri); and Poliambulatori Specialistici, including the acquired Albasalute polyclinic in Alba.

Revenue is generated through four streams: (1) recurring public institutional contracts under municipal and ASL accreditation (SAD, ADI, RSA), (2) private-pay home care under the "La Salute a casa tua" brand, (3) industrial occupational health managed services to enterprise clients nationwide, and (4) educational services delivered through owned nurseries and kindergartens under both public concession (e.g., La Certosa with Comune di Collegno) and private operation. Public-sector pricing follows regulated tariff schedules, while private services are sold on a fee-for-service basis. Distribution is enterprise-direct: formal procurement and accreditation with public authorities, plus field sales to hospital presidios and industrial accounts. The cooperative is member-owned, has no external institutional investors or parent company, and is led by President Carla Stillavato and Vice President Giorgio Piantino, with operational leadership in HR, External Relations, and Management Systems. The technology footprint is functional rather than differentiated — telemedicine kits, a 24/7 telesoccorso operations center, and the KinderTap parent-engagement app — with no disclosed AI/ML capability, proprietary data assets, or external funding.
