At the request of the General Secretariat of the Department of Social Welfare of the Regional Government of Castile-La Mancha, the joint venture formed 80% by Ingesan, an OHLA subsidiary specializing in the cleaning, maintenance and energy efficiency of buildings, personal care and urban services sectors, and by the Castile-La Mancha-based Comunitelia, with a 20% stake, has been awarded the contract for the integrated management of the Virgen de Peñarroya Nursing Home in the municipality of Argamasilla de Alba (Ciudad Real). The contract is valid for two years and may be extended for a further two years, with a budget of almost €3.5 million.

The services comprised in the agreement include the provision of auxiliary socio-health care to 46 residents and 20 other beneficiaries who attend the home during daytime hours, in accordance with the objectives defined by the General Directorate for the Elderly of the Department of Social Welfare. Moreover, cleaning and maintenance work will be carried out within the building, which has a floor area of 3,285.20 m², in addition to laundry, reception, catering and adapted transport services.

All this has the aim to preserve a predominantly homely and conventional atmosphere, with personalized and social spaces that facilitate human relations between people with different degrees of functional and psychosocial dependence, and where community life and the need for professional care foster respect for rights, dignity and personal autonomy.

The activity carried out by Ingesan and Comunitelia strengthens the purpose of the Virgen de Peñarroya Home, focused on offering complete social and health care to the elderly and facilitating the continuity of their life project, favoring their link to the family group and their usual environment, in a personal process of active adaptation to reality, providing the professional care that is necessary for each resident based on their capabilities and not on their limitations.
