Fondazione Istituto Geriatrico "La Pelucca" onlus

What Fondazione Istituto Geriatrico "La Pelucca" onlus does

Fondazione Istituto Geriatrico "La Pelucca" onlus is a nonprofit Italian foundation (Ente del Terzo Settore) headquartered in Sesto San Giovanni, Milan, providing integrated geriatric and end-of-life care. Founded in 1927 and operating with approximately 55 employees, the foundation runs three facilities in Sesto San Giovanni — Via Campanella (housing offices, an RSA, mini-alloggi and a Hospice), Via Boccaccio (RSA and Centro Diurno Integrato, opened October 2008), and Via Falck (owned property designated for a Poliambulatorio). Its service portfolio spans residential long-term care (RSA), daytime integrated care (CDI), a specialized Alzheimer's unit (Nucleo Alzheimer), hospice/palliative care, and a Regional Health System–funded home care program (RSA Aperta) for people with dementia or severely disabled individuals aged 75+.

The foundation's business model combines private residential fees ("rette") for RSA placements with full public funding of the RSA Aperta service by Regione Lombardia. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with contact-based residential care fees in the Italian nonprofit sector. Distribution is exclusively direct, delivered on the foundation's own physical campuses, with no third-party or digital channels. Customer segments are individual elderly and frail residents (including those with certified dementia and 100% civil disability) and their families in the Lombardy region, alongside terminally ill patients requiring hospice care.

Operational backbone includes ISO 9001 quality certification and a multidisciplinary clinical model. Recent strategic activity centers on academic and cultural partnerships — a geriatrics residency training agreement and scholarship with Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, a palliative care collaboration with LIUC, and a cultural inclusion program with Triennale Milano — alongside a workforce-safety technology initiative ("Uomo a Terra – Allerto Watch" with Unirete Telecomunicazioni) and long-standing volunteer support via AVO. Leadership is Giuseppe Nicosia (President) and Giuseppe Minutolo (Direttore Generale and Direttore Sanitario). The foundation is privately governed by a Board of Directors with no parent company, subsidiaries, or external equity investors.
