The Minister of Social Policy and Equality, Ángeles Vázquez, and the Mayoress of Ribeira, María Sampedro, signed the agreement formalizing the handover of the land to the Xunta. The minister highlighted that the future facility is set to become a benchmark for the entire region.
The new elderly care center will be located in the Curuxeiras area, next to San Roque park. It will have a total of 120 places for dependent elderly individuals, thus responding to a social demand in the locality.
Ángeles Vázquez thanked the mayoress of Ribeira for her involvement in promoting this project and her efforts in finding a suitable location for a resource described as "highly demanded" by the public.
