On Wednesday 17 January, our colleagues Iraide Robles, Social Worker - Case Manager at Lugaritz housing, and Maria Karmen Garmendia Lasa, President of the Matia Board of Trustees, gave a talk organised by Helduen Hitza, in which they shared a series of ideas related to care and the current profiles of elderly people. A new longevity with very different lifestyles and needs, to which the care system must adapt, with a new, more community-based, flexible approach, centred on the person and their decision-making. 

Finally, an alternative form of accommodation for the elderly has been presented, such as the Lugaritz supported housing, as a new response to situations and realities existing today.
