The Popular Party of Tinajo believes that the municipality must take a further step in social care for the elderly and the families who have them in their care.

In this sense, the populars consider it "necessary to provide Tinajo with a small family respite center that complements the services currently provided through home help and that is clearly not enough to cover the multiple needs that families have in these circumstances, especially when it comes to reconciling work, personal and family life."

“We believe that the priority is not only to offer the elderly all the attention they require, but also to ensure that caregiving families can also have time for rest, disconnection, or in cases of indisposition or illness”, says Carmen Camiñas, coordinator of the Local Committee.

Camiñas highlights that the creation of this service would mean “enormous help for many families in the municipality who have serious difficulties in reconciling work and family life, and also in those cases in which we find elderly people caring for, 24 hours a day, every day of the week, other elderly people who have difficulties in managing their daily lives.”

From the Popular Party they consider that Tinajo "must start working now to achieve a center of these characteristics where the elderly can receive comprehensive care while the family caregiver takes the essential vital rest to avoid the physical and emotional exhaustion that the care of dependent people often entails."
