Gli Angeli di Padre Pio

Facility's history

Born as “Gli Angeli di Padre Pio for Blind People” on September 11th 1996 with 20 beds for children from 18 years with visual impairments, December 18, 2011 “Gli Angeli di Padre Pio” becomes a cycle of extra-hospital continuous rehabilitation, private and accredited with SSR that accepts 25 beds for physically, mentally and sensory disabled people for adults and children who need to undertake or continue a rehabilitation after an acute event or suffering from a chronic disease. The presidium has an innovative Technological Rehabilitation Unit, which is unique in Italy and one of the few things that is innovative and rehabilitative.

On 21 December 2014, the new wing of the residential complex “Gli Angeli di Padre Pio” was inaugurated. The structural enlargement involves, in addition to an increase in the number of beds from the current 25 to 65, the availability of new equipment for further therapeutic possibilities.

The Facility

“Gli Angeli di Padre Pio” is an always open private outpatient Rehabilitation Centre credited with the SSR (Regional Health Service), that has 65 beds for mentally and physically disabled, sensory and psychic disabled both adults and children.

The Centre is suited for post-acute and high-complexity patients who need to undertake or continue an intensive or extensive rehabilitation process after an acute event or as suffering from a chronic disease.

It accommodates people with nervous system disorders: outcomes of strokes, cranial encephalic trauma, spinal cord injury, neurodegenerative, respiratory, cardiovascular, muscoloskeletal (hip prostheses, knee, amputee, trauma) diseases.

In addition, patients with developmental disability (PCI, muscular dystrophies), artistic spectrum disorders, language, attention, learning disorders, genetic syndromes and patients affected by oncological diseases are accepted to the centre.

At the Centre you will find a team of rehabilitation professionals consisting of doctors, rehabilitation experts (physiotherapists, speech therapists, TNPEE, orthoptists, occupational therapists), engineers, psychologists, nurses, medical social workers.

In addition to traditional therapies (including physiccal therapy, neuro-psycho-motor skills, speech therapy, occupational therapy, orthoptics), the centre grants additional therapies (including tilology, osteopathy, musictherapy, hydrokinesitherapy,muscle pull therapy).

Rehabilitation Services

Specialist medical examinations aimed at defining the rehabilitation program (rehabilitation diagnosis and definition of rehabilitation settings) taking into consideration the following elements:

  • the definition of the type of pathology that determined the impairment and the classification according to the ICF categories;
  • the degree of acuteness or chronicity of the impairment, distinguished on the basis of the temporal parameter, that is to the interval of time elapsed from the acuity of the disabling disease;
  • the degree of complexity of the patient taken in charge;
  • the number and type of programs appropriate for the type of disability present, with particular reference to the problems of the population in developmental age, guaranteeing the necessary continuity in the transition to adulthood in this sector;
  • the appropriate evaluation and therapeutic tools for each program in relation to the recovery of disability, with particular reference also to cognitive and neuropsychological problems;
  • the instrument of measurement and final evaluation of the objectives set by the programs of the Individual Rehabilitation Project.

Psycho-diagnostic definition through:

  • cognitive evaluation with standardized level tests; clinical interview with direct observation of the patient and his family; nosographic classification; affective-behavioral and relational evaluation with interview and semi-structured interview with the family member.
  • Functional evaluation: psychological intervention on affective and behavioral aspects; support to other operators; programming of cognitive stimulation activities and type of intervention necessary for its planning; evaluation and intervention on specific learning disorders (DSA) and minors with special educational needs (BES)

Physiokinesitherapy aimed at the following objectives:

  • Functional recovery of motor, psycho-motor and cognitive abilities that have been lost for pathological reasons;
  • Evocation of motor, psycho-motor and cognitive abilities not activated during development;
  • Prevention of functional regressions through interventions aimed at modifying the natural history of chronic-degenerative diseases and reducing their specific risk factors;
  • Identify, develop and improve all those alternative skills that can facilitate a person’s well-being and health;
  • Propose the adoption of prostheses and aids and training to the most appropriate and effective use.

Lymphatic drainage aimed at draining excess lymphatic fluids from the tissues, indicated for edema (lymphedema, flebedema).

Neuropsychomotor developmental age aimed at the following objectives:

  • stimulate the child to act and take pleasure in doing what interests him, favoring a more harmonious development in respect of his history, his personality and his potential in relation to the family and social environment. This objective is realized in motor, play and expressive bodily activities, which constitute privileged communication modalities by the child;

Speech therapy aimed at the treatment of:

  • Dysphonia (voice disorders)
  • Specific language disorders
