FONDAZIONE PIA OPERA CICCARELLI ONLUS

What FONDAZIONE PIA OPERA CICCARELLI ONLUS does

FONDAZIONE PIA OPERA CICCARELLI ONLUS is an Italian non-profit foundation (ETS — Ente del Terzo Settore) established in 1885 by Mons. Giuseppe Ciccarelli, headquartered in the Verona province and focused on social and healthcare services for elderly and disabled persons. With 146 staff, the foundation operates 7 residential care facilities with 601 beds, 2 day centers with 40 places, home care services across 9 municipalities, and an outpatient clinic, and it is authorized by Regione Veneto to deliver socio-health operator (OSS) training. Its service mix covers residential, semi-residential, domiciliary, outpatient, and training segments.

Its differentiating technology stack centers on VRRS, a patented Class I medical device that delivers virtual reality-based tele-rehabilitation with sensor interaction and automated reporting, supplemented by HomeKit tele-rehabilitation kits for use at home, the SYREN assisted shower system, and IoT-enabled smart apartments that underpin its "Abitare Leggero" (light housing) supported-living program. Quality and ethical compliance are formalized through ISO 9001, ISO 45001, and SA8000 certifications, and the foundation maintains a research partnership with IRCCS San Raffaele and ties to academic institutions including Bocconi.

The operating model is funded through a mix of regulated fee-for-service conventions with the local health authority (ULSS 9 Scaligera), private-pay resident contributions, donations, the Italian "5x1000" tax allocation, training fees from the OSS school, and a solidarity fund. Customer segments are predominantly individual elderly and disabled residents and their families, supplemented by institutional clients via the ULSS convention and the foundation's research collaborators.
