Abstract

The epidemiological changes of the last decades with the presence of an ever-increasing number of frail and multimorbid patients and the growing social problems of abandonment, loneliness, community disintegration, require a rethinking of treatment paths and structures and a strengthening of social and health policies . The Community Houses, foreseen by Ministerial Decree 77/2022, represent both an opportunity and a challenge. The territory of Parma has developed an inter-institutional project to guide this process. This article analyzes the socio-health context and the architectural-functional needs of the new Community Houses from the point of view of clinicians
