Fondazione FARO is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing healthcare, physical, emotional, and psychological support to individuals in need of palliative care, while also caring for their families. Alongside its care services, FARO also engages in medical-scientific research and educational activities in the field of palliative care, thanks to its in-house research center and cultural department.

For over 40 years, Fondazione FARO has been providing specialized palliative care to people with advanced illnesses and their families, with the goal of bringing value to each and every day.

FARO operates daily, both at home and in its hospices, to ensure that no one is left alone in illness—until the very end. All FARO services are completely free of charge for patients and their families, funded through donations and agreements with local health authorities (ASL).

OUR MISSION

We believe that even when healing is no longer possible, care is always possible.

We care for the individual by addressing every aspect of life: medical, physical-motor, psychological, emotional, and relational. Our goal is to ensure the best possible quality of life for patients, while also offering dedicated support to their families.

We see each patient first and foremost as a unique person, with all the traits that define them. Fondazione FARO is especially committed to supporting the most vulnerable families, recognizing the importance of providing additional help to those in greater need. We believe that palliative care should be known and accessible to everyone, to ensure that every person can live with dignity through all stages of illness, until the end.

OUR VISION

We envision a world where every person, regardless of the severity of their condition, can live their final moments with dignity, comfort, and the highest possible well-being, surrounded by the love of their dear ones and supported by an inclusive and compassionate healthcare system.

Fondazione FARO is committed to ensuring that everyone facing a life-limiting illness has access to high-quality palliative care. Through early palliative care integration, simultaneous care, and research, we aim to improve the quality of life for both patients and their families.

FARO will always strive to study and promote the best and most innovative solutions for home and hospice care, so that more and more people can benefit from highly specialized support.
