ITALIANS ARE LIVING LONGER AND LONGER

A Rapidly Ageing Population: Strong Growth in the Long-Term Care Sector.

The evolution of demographic trends, changes in family and social models, the progressive aging of the population, are among the most important phenomena of our time, leading to profound changes from a social, cultural, economic, medical-scientific and technological point of view. The LTC (Long Term Care) industry is very dynamic and with interesting opportunities for investment and development.

2025 KEY INDEXES

  • Life Expectancy: 81.7 years for men and 85.7 years for women
  • Old age Index: 207.7 elderly people (over 65 years) for every 100 young people (under 14 years)
  • Birth rate: around 350,000 births, compared to around 640,000

Key indexes reflect a population that is not growing, but progressively aging, with an increasing need for accommodation, assistance and shelter facilities, responsive and adequate to the new needs of the elderly.

A Dynamic and Rapidly Expanding Market

This favorable context, is a clear opportunity for development and growth in the sector of health and social-health facilities, highlighting the need for important structural and infrastructural interventions. The opportunity translates in modernizing, restructuring and developing a current park of facilities that are on average obsolete, inefficient and insufficient, in order to face the growing social-welfare and health demand of the coming decades. Italy shows a need for an additional 80/100,000 beds for seniors over the next few years.

Nursing Homes and Long-Term Care Facilities

 Nursing Homes—known in Italy as Residenze Sanitarie Assistenziali (RSAs)—are public or private residential facilities providing accommodation and care for older adults who are partially or fully dependent and can no longer live independently due to health conditions or reduced autonomy.

Admission is based on nationally established assessment criteria that evaluate physical, cognitive, sensory, and social conditions. Stays may be either temporary or permanent, depending on individual care needs.

According to Italian regulations, RSAs are required to provide:

  • A Comfortable Residential Environment: accommodation designed to offer a welcoming, home-like atmosphere while respecting residents’ privacy and encouraging social interaction.

  • Comprehensive Healthcare Services: medical, nursing, rehabilitative, and therapeutic care aimed at preventing and managing chronic conditions as well as treating acute health issues.

  • Personalised Care and Assistance: tailored support focused on preserving independence, promoting personal well-being, maintaining individual interests, and enhancing quality of life.

Senior Housing

We design and build real estates without architectural barriers, divided into mini-apartments, generally equipped with kitchen-living room, bedroom and bathroom, specially designed for seniors (over 75), possibly located in residential areas of cities being well connected by public transport, close to supermarkets and shops as well as services such as post office, pharmacy, clinics, church, etc.

Residents also benefit from a wide range of common areas that promote social interaction, well-being, and active ageing while ensuring safety and peace of mind.

Senior Housing is designed to meet the specific needs of older adults by offering a safe environment, fostering social connections, and providing a comprehensive range of services.

Rehabilitation Clinics

Rehabilitation Clinics are specialised healthcare facilities dedicated to helping patients recover functional abilities, regain independence, and improve their overall quality of life.

Rodevita develops two main types of rehabilitation facilities:

Functional Rehabilitation Clinics

These facilities provide specialised rehabilitation programmes for patients recovering from surgery, trauma, neurological conditions, or acute medical events.

The objective is to maximise each patient’s physical, functional, psychological, and social recovery, enabling the highest possible level of independence and quality of life.

Neuropsychiatric Rehabilitation Clinics

These specialised facilities are dedicated to the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with psychiatric, psychological, behavioural, and emotional disorders.

They offer protected environments where multidisciplinary teams deliver personalised rehabilitation programmes focused on recovery, social reintegration, and long-term well-being.

Like Nursing Homes (RSAs), both Functional and Neuropsychiatric Rehabilitation Clinics provide 24-hour medical, nursing, and healthcare assistance, together with a comprehensive range of hospitality, administrative, and support services to ensure the highest standards of care and patient comfort.
