Discover ElisirOur residences
Elisir and Strauss are care homes (comunità alloggio) in Palermo for older people who need daily assistance. They are homes, not wards: shared rooms where people eat and talk together, furnished bedrooms, staff who know every resident.

Tax advice
We help you use the deductions and allowances that reduce tax on care costs, and deal with other paperwork.
Disability and attendance allowance
We help you prepare applications for civil disability status and the attendance allowance (indennità di accompagnamento), so your family member receives the support they are entitled to.
Families kept informed
We call you when something changes, and you can call us whenever you like.
How moving in works
We talk
You tell us about your family member and what you need, by phone or through the form.
You visit
You see the residence, meet the staff, look at the bedrooms and shared spaces.
We prepare the move
We gather the information we need, agree on timing and support the resident through the first days.
We can also help you apply for civil disability status and the attendance allowance (indennità di accompagnamento), if your family member is entitled to them.
Come and meet us
A visit tells you more than any description. We will show you around, introduce the staff and answer your questions.
