The professional team supports the resident throughout the entire process.

Visiting hours are every day from 10 AM to 7 PM. We understand the importance of family bonds and encourage regular contact between residents and their loved ones.

What is the admission process like?

Accepted Answer

The process begins with an initial consultation (in person, by phone or by video call) where we assess the future resident's needs. We then coordinate a visit to the home, perform a medical and social evaluation, and agree on the conditions of admission. We accompany the family in every step so the transition is as smooth as possible.

Question 8

What is the difference between your four homes?

Each home has a distinct profile: El Hogar de Rosa offers an intimate, family-style environment (Independencia 933); Residencia Jose Ignacio has modern infrastructure and green spaces (20 de Septiembre 858); Hogar Otoñal combines therapeutic support with warmth (España 844); and Hogar Gema specializes in differentiated care and rehabilitation (Tomás Guido 956). We can advise you to find the most suitable option.

How do I know if my parent needs a senior care home?

Accepted Answer

Some indicators that may signal the need for a specialized residence include: difficulty performing daily activities independently, frequent risk of falls, diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's requiring constant supervision, prolonged social isolation, or when home care exceeds the family's possibilities. Our team can advise you with no commitment.

Question 11

What happens if my parent's health condition changes?

We adapt the care plan to any change in the resident's health status. We maintain continuous communication with the family, coordinate with specialists when necessary, and adjust services to ensure the best possible wellbeing at every stage.
