Περιγραφή της δραστηριότητας

Asilo Valdese is a retirement home located in Luserna San Giovanni, a small village about 50 km from the city of Torino. It's a non-profit organisation belonging to the Waldensian evangelical church that was established more than 100 years ago to assist aged persons. It has 96 places for non-self-sufficient people and 20 places for people who are self-sufficient. The placement is staffed with doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, animators, and personal assistants, as well as kitchen, cleaning, maintenance and administrative personnel.
