La Rosa Blu

La Rosa Blu is a social cooperative based in Chirignago, in Italy’s Veneto region, supporting people with disabilities through rehabilitation, care and social inclusion. Founded in 1979, it provides daytime and residential social-assistance and educational services, and is certified to UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 for their design and delivery. Its community accommodation offers a family-like setting and helps residents develop relational skills.

The day centre provides educational, training and occupational activities for much of the day, while apartment groups support personal independence for people with intellectual disabilities who have good levels of self-sufficiency. The cooperative also runs other activities, placements and collaborations with local organisations to encourage learning and participation. Individualised educational plans consider each person’s cognitive, emotional, relational, psychomotor and social needs.

La Rosa Blu works with families, staff, volunteers and community networks to strengthen people’s abilities and promote integration. Its community accommodation and day centre hold institutional accreditation from the Veneto Region. The cooperative also welcomes donations and five-per-thousand tax contributions to support its work
