The RSA, located in Nepi, province of Viterbo a few kilometers from northern Rome, is part of the Nepi Nursing Home structure and affiliated with the Regional Health System.
Nursing homes (RSAs) are inpatient institutions, either public or private, that take in elderly people who are not self-sufficient and are no longer able to remain at home due to their health and autonomy conditions. Hospitalizations may be temporary or indefinite.
According to national regulations, the RSA must offer residents:
1. residential accommodation with as much of a domestic feel as possible, organized to respect the individual’s need for privacy and confidentiality while stimulating socialization among residents;
2. all medical, nursing, and rehabilitation interventions necessary to prevent and treat chronic diseases and their possible flare-ups;
3.individualized care geared toward protecting and improving levels of autonomy, maintaining personal interests, and promoting well-being.

Methods of access
