The project, announced on Monday, will combine public-private collaboration to mobilize an investment of 500 million euros. The goal is to expand care services more quickly and without placing the entire burden on taxpayers, as stated by the regional president.
Of the 8,000 new places, 6,000 will be residential and 2,000 for day care. At least 3,200 of these places will be integrated into the public network, while the remainder will be in private centers accessible through a service voucher.
“"This system will allow for the construction and management of new centers at a faster pace and expand the care offering without placing the entire burden on taxpayers."
The new residential model features smaller centers, with a maximum of 150 places and at least 50% single rooms. These facilities will be distributed across 13 districts of Madrid and 18 municipalities in the region.
Among the plan's innovations is the inclusion of housing for seniors with mild or moderate dependency, aiming to promote a more autonomous life. Additionally, some centers will incorporate nurseries to foster intergenerational coexistence.
Construction has already begun on the first residence in Las Rosas, in the San Blas district of Madrid. The second project will be located in El Cañaveral, in the Vicálvaro district.
