These services are provided to people with non-acute conditions that, presenting high level of complexity, clinical instability, symptoms difficult to control, need for support of vital functions and/or very severe disability, require continuity of care with prompt medical availability and 24-hour nursing presence.
In particular, we support patients with ALS or other advanced neurodegenerative syndromes, patients with chronic diseases with a need for respiratory assistance, those with tracheostomy, artificial nutrition (enteral or parenteral), or otherwise confined to bed and with total dependence for feeding, sphincter control, and personal hygiene, who are in the process of clinical stabilization, and who have completed the necessary previous rehabilitation protocols but due to social and/or technical-organizational problems cannot be cared for at home.

The request is made by the hospital in which the patient is admitted or by the general practitioner to the relevant local health authority. Said request will be evaluated by a commission of the Asl itself and then, if eligible, placed on a single waiting list managed by the Asl of Rome 2.
