The construction of the new Senior Care Unit Sagrado Coração in Madeira is advancing at a remarkable pace, promising enhanced facilities for the elderly community. The project, overseen by the Regional Secretary of Inclusion, Youth, and Employment, is set in the historic building of the former Missionary College.

The construction of the new Senior Care Unit Sagrado Coração is progressing swiftly in Madeira, showcasing a significant step towards improving care facilities for the elderly on the island. This development is located in the historic building of the former Missionary College on Caminho do Monte, a site rich in heritage and easily accessible for the local community.

Paula Margarido, the Regional Secretary of Inclusion, Youth, and Employment, recently visited the site to oversee the progress. Her visit underscores the government's commitment to enhancing social infrastructure for Madeira's aging population.

The project is spearheaded by the Centro Social e Paroquial de São Bento (CSPB) and receives financial backing from the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR). This initiative falls under the broader 'Strengthening Social Responses' investment plan, managed by the Regional Secretariat of Inclusion, Youth, and Employment.

The facility is not just a new building but a symbol of the ongoing effort to provide quality care and support to the elderly. With its strategic location and modern amenities, it aims to offer a comfortable and supportive environment for its residents.

This project is particularly significant for Madeira, where demographic changes have increased the demand for senior care services. By repurposing the historic Missionary College, the project also preserves a piece of Madeira's architectural heritage while fulfilling contemporary social needs.
