Participants in a conference on alternatives to institutionalizing the elderly.

Representatives from the Consell Comarcal del Tarragonès and various municipalities participated in the 'Living at home, living as I wish' conference to discuss alternatives to institutionalizing the elderly.

The online conference, promoted by the Association for the Metropolitan Impulse of Camp de Tarragona, took place this Wednesday, October 7, aiming to identify needs, barriers, and gather proposals to help seniors continue living in their homes with autonomy and quality of life.
The meeting brought together 15 participants from Tarragonès, including representatives from Creixell, the Senior Association of Salomó, the Association of Retirees of Vilallonga del Camp, the Senior Center of Roda de Berà, the Senior Association of Pallaresos, FATEC, and the Consell Comarcal del Tarragonès itself.
The involvement of politicians, organizations, and especially seniors themselves, allowed for the collection of diverse perspectives on how to age in one's municipality, maintain connections, and decide where and how to live.
The Consell Comarcal del Tarragonès positively values this space for reflection, which gives a voice to the region's seniors and promotes more community-based and person-centered care models.
