Fondazione Casa del Sole

What Fondazione Casa del Sole does

Fondazione Casa del Sole is a nonprofit foundation of participation (fondazione di partecipazione) with legal personality under private law, established in January 2016 with the Comune di Ponte nelle Alpi as founding promoter, and headquartered at Viale Roma 66/A, Ponte nelle Alpi (Belluno), Veneto, Italy. The foundation operates a four-service elderly care platform for non-self-sufficient persons in the Belluno Province and Distretto n.1 of ULSS1 Dolomiti: a 60-bed residential care center organized into Nucleo A (dementia) and Nucleo B (functional disability); a day care center for up to 4 persons daily focused on dementia; a home care service (SAD) with hot meal delivery delivered by OSS operators Monday through Saturday; and a free, ULSS1-collaborated blood sampling point for over-65 and ticket-exempt users. The foundation is governed by a Board, two-thirds of whose members are nominated by the Collegio dei Sostenitori, ensuring community accountability, and is supported by a network of local volunteer associations and the resident family council (Associazione Parenti Ospiti).

The foundation operates with no proprietary technology platforms, relying instead on standard healthcare and social-care equipment (electric beds, ceiling lifts, physiotherapy equipment, in-house kitchen) and a multidisciplinary team of nurses, physiotherapists, psychologists, social workers, and OSS operators coordinated through nucleus-level teams and individualized care plans (PAI). Its revenue model is hybrid and ISEE-indexed for Ponte nelle Alpi residents: ULSS1 Dolomiti funds the healthcare quota for residential and day care; the municipality subsidizes part of the accommodation and home-care fees; direct user fees cover the remainder; and voluntary donations fund capital equipment upgrades (e.g., 30+ electric beds and ceiling lifts). All referrals are coordinated institutionally — through ULSS1 Dolomiti's Unified Ranking for residential care and the municipal social worker for home and day care — making the foundation's go-to-market community- and institution-led rather than commercial. The foundation employs approximately 6 people and is led by Director Cinzia Pierobon and psychologist Viviana De Pellegrini, who coordinated the 'L'attimo bello' poetry therapy project (44 residents across 37 sessions) presented at Tech Care Expo Rimini in March 2026.

Revenue model

1. Day Care Fees: Fees charged for day care attendance (partial or full day), with a portion potentially subsidized by the municipality for local residents based on ISEE. Also includes optional add-on services such as laundry, podology, and hairdressing.
2. Home Care (SAD) Fees: Hourly fees for home assistance services and a per-meal charge for hot meal delivery. Both are subsidized based on ISEE bands for Ponte nelle Alpi residents. The service is delivered Monday–Saturday by OSS operators.
3. Donations and Contributions: Voluntary donations from individuals and businesses that fund equipment upgrades and facility improvements (e.g., electric beds, ceiling lifts). Donations are a significant complement to operational budgets, as stated in their communications.
4. Public Healthcare Funding (ULSS): ULSS1 Dolomiti directly funds the healthcare quota component of residential care for eligible residents through the Regional Health System. Also provides specialist services, medical supplies, and pharmaceutical products per established conventions.

Broad incumbents

• Segesta Group: Italian healthcare group operating assisted living residences (RSA), home care, and dementia programs in multiple regions. Directly comparable service portfolio to Casa del Sole's residential + SAD offering, but with a multi-site commercial operating model.
• KOS Group: Italian private healthcare group active in elderly care, rehabilitation, and residential facilities through brands including Anni Azzurri and Villa Margherita. Comparable as a multi-site Italian operator of residential and home care services for non-self-sufficient elderly.
• Korian Italia (Clariane): Largest international assisted living and nursing care operator in Italy, running dozens of residential and home care sites across multiple regions. Comparable as it delivers the same residential / dementia / home care service mix, but at vastly greater scale and as a for-profit operator rather than a community foundation.

Direct peers

• Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi: Major Italian nonprofit foundation running multiple residential centers, rehabilitation services, and home care across Italy for elderly and disabled persons. Closest structural peer to Casa del Sole as a comparable fondazione running a mixed residential/day/home care portfolio under public health contracts.
• Opera Don Orione: Italian nonprofit religious organization operating residential care facilities and social assistance services for elderly and persons with disabilities across multiple Italian regions. Comparable nonprofit/community-led operational model and service mix to Casa del Sole.

Others

• Croce Rossa Italiana (Italian Red Cross): Italian Red Cross operates home assistance, transport for the elderly, and community health programs nationwide, often in partnership with ULSS authorities. Comparable as an institutional nonprofit channel through which public elderly care services are delivered in rural Italy, though not a residential operator.
• ANFFAS (Associazione Nazionale Famiglie di Persone con Disabilità Intellettiva e Relazionale): Italian nonprofit network operating residential facilities, day centers, and home assistance for persons with intellectual disabilities, often publicly funded through local health authorities. Comparable as a nonprofit, publicly-funded operator of residential and day services for vulnerable populations under Italian regional healthcare contracts.

Regional players

• ASP — Aziende Pubbliche di Servizi alla Persona (Veneto regional entities): Public-sector Italian entities (formerly IPAB) operating residential care, day centers, and home care for elderly across Veneto. Most direct structural analog to Casa del Sole as Veneto-based publicly-funded elderly care operators, though typically larger and municipally rather than foundationally governed.
