The president of Council of Tenerife, Pedro Martin (PSOE)announced this Wednesday, April 6, that Island Government Council this week has unblocked the project for the construction of the new geriatric residence of La Orotavapending since 2013, when it had to be closed the old Hospital of the Holy Trinity. This action, budgeted in more than 9 million euroswill enable a center with 99 residential places and at least 20 daytime.

Martin explained that the decision of the island government “It will allow the elderly who are in the north hospital, in Icod de los Vinosto the new residence to be built in La Orotava». According to the president of Tenerife, “until now it had not been possible because urban regulations They prohibited building the residence where it was planned. The Cabildo of Tenerife has already solved it, from the administrative point of view, and it will be possible to attend to what was an old request from the Municipality of La Orotava».

After this agreement and this urban solution, “a procedure is initiated to award the construction of this new residence for the elderly in La Orotavawhich will allow in the future that an entire plant of the North Hospital is free for new services for the citizens of this part of the island». This new infrastructure will have capacity for 119 users. It will have 45 double rooms and nine single rooms, offices, spaces for nursing and occupational therapy, classrooms and a laundry, among other facilities.

The Institute of Social and Socio-Health Care (IASS) has planned to invest 9.1 million euros for years in the construction of this new social and health center in the urbanization La Boruga. This infrastructure is planned on a plot of 27,000 square metersowned by Municipality of La Orotavalocated in the vicinity of the veterinary hospital and the connection of the TF-5 with Mayorazgo.

The construction of this nursing home with more than one hundred places is budgeted at around 9 million

The 99 users and 76 workers of the former Santísima Trinidad Hospital were temporarily transferred in September 2013 to the North Hospitallocated in Icod of the Wines, which has long-stay geriatric beds. This transfer was motivated by the subsidence of the floor of one of the rooms of the building and other health and safety problems. It was an infrastructure of great antiquity that, despite the reforms, could not be adapted to continue with geriatric use.

The building of the old Holy Trinity Hospital, now converted into a municipal funeral home, dates back to the 16th century and was used for health purposes since the beginning of the 20th century. Its successive reforms did not prevent its facilities from becoming obsolete and losing functionality with the advance of time and the new demands of users.

The social health center that will be built on this new plot will allow La Orotava recover the old Hospital of the Holy Trinity. This construction is included in the second plan for socio-health infrastructures, which financed the Cabildo of Tenerife and the Government of the Canary Islands in equal parts. Despite the fact that the agreement was signed in 2016 and that the start of the works was announced in 2019, various problems have prevented the action from being put out to tender and construction beginning. The announcement of Peter Martin it represents the definitive unlocking of an action that will make it possible to resolve a lack that has lasted nine years.
