The Valga City Council has taken a new step towards the municipality having a residence for the elderly and dependent. In recent days, administrative processing has begun before the Xunta de Galicia, requesting the initial permits and sectoral reports necessary to start construction in the Gándara area. The objective is to expedite deadlines as much as possible to make a reality of an infrastructure that will further consolidate Valga as a benchmark municipality in social care and services.
The residence project, presented at the time by the Minister of Social Policy and the company Serge, will involve an investment of between 10 and 12 million euros to develop a building of between 7,500 and 8,000 square meters divided into two floors. Beyond having 150 places, the complex is conceived with the aim of becoming a hub for innovation and will include a Research Center and a stroke recovery unit, for which agreements will be established with Galician universities and which will feature training classrooms.

Regarding the residence, it will be divided into different modules and units. Each will have rooms, a dining area, and a living room, accommodating a maximum of 25 or 30 residents for greater well-being and comfort. Additionally, some of these units will have specific uses for the treatment and care of people with different illnesses.
