ELSA Soc. Coop. Sociale

Elsa Social Cooperative is an Italian social-care organisation that has supported people with physical and psychosocial disabilities since 1987. Its work is guided by respect for each person’s dignity and value, with an emphasis on welcoming environments, responsible organisation, and personalised planning that supports the wellbeing of residents and their families.

Elsa operates a range of residential and semi-residential services. The RAF Comunità Elsa provides individualised care and educational programmes to help residents develop autonomy within and beyond the community. Its apartment groups offer adults with disabilities a homelike setting that encourages independence and social inclusion. Villa Stella accommodation supports young adults with mild to moderate disabilities who need educational guidance and personal support. The cooperative also provides guided autonomy services, designed as a bridge between community living and greater independence. Its Serratrice Dafarra retirement home offers social and healthcare services in residential and semi-residential settings, aiming to provide familiar surroundings and routines.
