Residenza al Roccolo

The Residenza al Roccolo, opened in February 2025, is named after the “roccolo” located in the panoramic garden in front of the facility. This green space, enhanced by public walking paths, offers an ideal environment for relaxing strolls and moments of contact with nature.

Designed to accommodate up to 80 elderly people, the nursing home is divided into three wards across three floors, one of which is protected and dedicated to the care of 26 residents with cognitive disorders. The bright and welcoming interior spaces revolve around a central patio that ensures visual continuity on all sides of the building, creating an open and harmonious atmosphere.

At the entrance, a spacious welcoming area greets visitors with a reception, a bar, and a dining area — places designed to foster interaction and conviviality among residents and guests.

Thanks to its privileged position, with a breathtaking view of Lugano, Monte San Salvatore, and Monte Brè, the Residenza al Roccolo is a place where hospitality, care, and quality of life meet, establishing itself as a new point of reference for elderly care.

The Residenza is located in Canobbio and was created thanks to the collaboration between the hosting Municipality and the City of Lugano. The two Municipalities established an autonomous public law entity to carry out the project. Like all nursing homes of the City of Lugano, the facility is managed by Lugano Istituti Sociali.
