This agreement, involving an investment exceeding 940 million euros, will incorporate 120 privately managed residential centers across the region. Among the localities benefiting are Las Rozas and San Lorenzo de El Escorial, which will see their care capacities expanded.
The overall contract covers 12,296 places, with 10,418 already integrated into the public network funded by the regional government. Through this initiative, the Community of Madrid aims to significantly enhance the quality of care and services provided to seniors.
“"To provide a comprehensive response to all the needs of residents and their families, enhancing and strengthening the quality of care."
Key improvements under the new agreement include a 20 percent increase in funding per place. Additionally, mandatory programs will be implemented to prevent and address situations of loneliness, abuse, or mistreatment in all centers. Enhancements in nutrition will also be introduced, along with a preference registry to record users' dietary, cultural, and recreational tastes.
The new centers joining the Framework Agreement will be located in various municipalities, including Madrid capital, Paracuellos del Jarama, Pozuelo de Alarcón, Navalcarnero, Las Rozas, Cadalso de los Vidrios, San Martín de la Vega, El Álamo, San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Lozoyuela, and San Fernando de Henares.
Currently, the Ministry manages a public network with over 63,000 places, of which 36,800 are dedicated to the elderly. With this new contract, the number of available places for this vulnerable group is expected to exceed 38,000, reinforcing the commitment to their well-being.
