SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, March 23 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Cabildo de Tenerife reports this Thursday that work has already begun on the last phase of the Guía de Isora senior center project, in which almost two million euros are invested.
The insular president, Pedro Martín, the Minister of Social Action, Marián Franquet, and the mayoress of Guía de Isora, Josefa Mesa, visited the center this week, the start-up of which contemplates the creation of 75 residential and 20 daytime places.
Pedro Martín stressed that with the opening of this center, scheduled for this year, from the Cabildo “a pending issue” is resolved and it complies with the “commitment” it acquired at the beginning of the mandate to create new socio-sanitary places and “try to make the older people can receive quality care without leaving their environment”.
For her part, Josefa Mesa stressed that it is a project that they have been demanding for a long time and that “today it is already a reality” to the collaboration and the decisive impulse that has been given from the Cabildo.
“Throughout 2023 it will be finished responding to many families that needed this type of resource,” he said.
The counselor Marián Franquet explained that the works, which have an execution period of 10 months, have as their main objective to provide the center with some basic services that were not included in the project approved by the previous island government and without which it is impossible to provide adequate care such as hot water or light.
In parallel, the necessary furniture (beds, bath chairs, transfer cranes, televisions) will be supplied so that the elderly can reside and have facilities and equipment that contribute to improving their quality of life, collects a note of the corporation.
