The 'Istituto Longobucco' residential centre for the elderly is located in the centre of Calendasco. It is about 10 km from Piacenza and is located in an ideal geographical position: about 10 minutes from the Piacenza Ovest motorway exit and easily accessible from the Lodigiano, Pavese and Cremonese areas, provinces all bordering Piacenza.
This protected residence is authorised to accommodate 47 guests in a protected home and 7 in a nursing home. It has a large private garden and within this area green spaces are designed for resting, equipped with benches, gazebos and tables so that relaxing meeting situations can be created for both guests and their families.
Inside, the rationally designed spaces for both guests and operators are spacious and bright, equipped with all the safety devices required by law.
The entire building is developed on the ground floor: it offers a bright entrance hall with a reception area, from which large communal areas are articulated: the dining room and living room overlook the garden, and the large windows make it easy to view the greenery. Also on the same floor are the rooms dedicated to the kitchen, where guests' meals are prepared in a direct and particularly careful manner.
The double rooms, divided into two nuclei, are all equipped with toilets for the non-self-sufficient. The rooms are furnished with simple but functional elements. Inside these, guests can request those personal effects that make their stay in the facility a trauma-free event in continuity with their own habits and experiences.
