The activities are made in our structures; they are situated in front of the new Ostia’s seafront closely to the sea, in Sommergibile Street, between tourist port and the wharf (national monument).

In this service, 30 users are assisted from about 25 among operators, doctors and paramedics; the users have got different disabilities’ levels (serious or more serious) and for this reason they receive a different assistance that looks after the capacity and ability of each disable’s person.

Anffas Ostia Onlus’s work is based on the singleness of users, also and first of all closely for the rehabilitative part, trying to make happy the activities that each user has to do.

Physiatrists, internists, neurologists, neuropsychiatrists, psychiatrists, psychologists, professional educator, physiotherapists and administrative staff.

The interventions are of different kinds: rehabilitative, educational and evaluative.

The global taking on, a specific medical team for each rehabilitative project and the importance to share with families the assistants’ life are, in Anffas Ostia, the heart of the semi-residential service.

Firstly, we attempt to make the activities of the centre effectively productive for the assistants and not to create laboratories like container.

We are making the maximum use of all environments placed at disposal by Institutions for Anffas Ostia Onlus. Day after day, we try to create the premises for a great growth and an essential improvement of guy’s conditions.

Concerning the human resource, the realization of laboratories-projects gives motivations to the operators to diversify the activities and in a way to make the centre in continuing evolving.

Procedures and methods used in the various activities are of international value and they explain the important background of improvement and experimentation that characterized operators’ work.

Finally in the specific field, Anffas Ostia is the centre of absolute interest, on the social medical profile, social assistant and ethical.

The goodness of done work is testified by the numerous  performance of ours guys in national and international competitions in various disciplines, which the last, but not the least, was the first place in a literary international competition on February 2007.

Each activity is developed by operators considering with attention the method rather than the final result, to give effectively part to guys of activities which they do. This means to make them protagonists of their life and not a mere publicity instrument on the outside.

Anffas Ostia fights whoever attempts to make money on the disability for personal interests.

Anffas Ostia works in summer stays as follows:

All the users, included people seriously ill on the motory point of view, follow a specific walk plan, small shopping, socialization with local population to developed the rational aspect and  integration; domestic staff’s presence is important because they very well know the behaviour and desire of users and they are prepared to give relaxing and safe days.

The domestic staff is able to use his knowledge to very well train the possible external staff.

The domestic and external staff share the same hotels room with the user or users left.
