Costa del Sol has been a popular holiday destination over the last forty years. We receive visitors from inland and abroad. It is also a very popular area for ex-patriates form all over Europe and rest of the world. There are more than 55 different nationalities among our patients. We have an important foreign community residing in Costa del Sol, mainly from United Kingdom, France, Germany, Netherlands and Scandinavian Countries. Many of them are retired people and people with disabilities with not much family and social support and living independently. There are also rural areas with a high rate of aged population. That makes home care an important part of our activity. We also have a Residential Care Unit, supervising the care of the elderly in Residential Homes. We have a strong collaboration with the homecare service of our local municipality.
We have experience in several european projects, (AAL-EXCITE http://www.oru.se/excite, ICT-GIRAFF www.giraffplus.eu)
We offer expertise in care of the elderly, analisys of user requirements, use of robotic telepresence technology and evaluation of ICT at end user level.
