Description

This retirement home has one important ambition: providing a good old day to all the seniors living in its establishment. Volunteers are invited to keep the elderly company, to organize entertainment and to assist the staff with their daily duties.

The elders that live here have been abandoned by their families and don't have economic resources. They are not included in the system and the Home is a refuge for them. The staff works hard at providing the elders with all the facilities and services for them to live there. The centre does not receive any help from other institutions or professionals; that is why, volunteers are always welcome.
