Socialcoop

SOCIALCOOP, Consorzio Cooperative Sociali, is a social cooperative company based in Asti, Via XX  Settembre n. 126, born in 1990 from the need for a group of cooperatives, members of Confcooperative  Asti, to have at our disposal a business policy instrument that would allow access to work  contracts which, due to complexity or amounts, individual organizations would not be able to  achieve. 

This type of company combination, typical of the Confcooperative world, has allowed the rationalization  of structure costs with the verticalization of functions and the possibility to specialize individual  members in activities pertaining to the same sector, but complementary and integrable with each other.  

The activity of SOCIALCOOP began in the province of Asti, with the provision of third-party services to  public and private institutions operating in the residential sector for the elderly; it has been  consolidated and expanded in the neighbouring province of Cuneo, the Langhe and Roero area in  particular; it has expanded to other areas as a result of contacts with local communities and to build  joint projects for the development of business initiatives, particularly those linked to the  cooperative movement. 

SOCIALCOOP now manages 18 preschools for elderly people who are not self-sufficient – RSA – and  operates mainly in Piedmont, in the provinces of Cuneo where there are 8 RSA, Asti with 5 RSA, Novara  and Turin with 2 RSA each; then it manages an RSA in Lombardy (Milan province) and one in Liguria  Savona province); the legal and administrative site is located in Asti. It manages a total of 1,290 beds  and entrusts the provision of services to its associated social cooperatives (Opera, Itaca and GE.S.A.C.). 

Socialcoop is therefore a network of cooperative enterprises; it is the expert system of social  entrepreneurship at the service of the local reality. Socialcoop therefore promotes the project and 

entrepreneurial development of members, defining and guaranteeing cooperative quality standards,  making also the associated cooperatives capable of entrepreneurial autonomy.  

The aggregate mission of Socialcoop and its associated cooperatives is therefore: 

✓ Offering residential care services for dependent persons, specialised and continuous,  ensuring the highest possible quality of life, while respecting guests/users, their individuality,  dignity and privacy, considering the particular physical, psychological, social and relational  needs. 

✓ In the promotion of functional autonomy, social and community inclusion by reducing as  much as possible states of discomfort, translating the global concept of health promotion, in  close collaboration with territorial services and the family. 

The type of action is based not only on continuous improvement of performance but also on  transparency of work, professional ethics, protection of working conditions, application of collective  agreements and safety at the workplace.  

The means by which to achieve the mission of the company is taking charge of the host at 360°, starting  from the architectural design and renovation of the building, think in the perspective of creating an  optimal environment for the life of the elderly, with innovative building solutions, to arrive at the  maintenance of residual potential and relationships with the outside.
