The Senior Unit, of the Department of Social Welfare of the City of Molina de Segura, has since Monday, March 4, with new facilities, large and current, for the development of its activation on the first floor of the Columna Building, located in Calle San Juan, number 2.
The Mayor of Molina de Segura, Esther Clavero Mira, and the Councilor for Social Welfare, Ángel Navarro García, have inaugurated these new municipal offices, located in a 125-square-meter space, which the Senior Unit shares with the Association for an Aging Active and Healthy, organization that counts with half a thousand members and with which the City maintains a collaboration agreement.
This new location seeks to provide the elder unit with a physical space of its own, thus becoming a benchmark for all the elderly in the municipality, while achieving greater visibility and closeness, giving older people the prominence they deserve .
The United of Elders was created in June 2016 with the aim of being closer and closer to citizens, with a new style of service, closer and participatory.
This unit has become a tool to support all senior centers in their administrative and organizational management, offering an information and advice service that is promoting a better dynamization of these centers.
This unit is coordinated by a social worker who has the collaboration of an administrative assistant.
From the unit we work to cover both the municipal offer for the revitalization of senior centers, as well as the activities that are designed from the centers themselves, and all following a participatory work methodology.
According to the Municipal Register, the number of people over 65 in Molina de Segura was at the end of 2018 of 8,702, with more women (4,740) than men (3,962).
This group represents 12.3% of the total population of the municipality (70,964).
In Molina de Segura there are currently 18 groups of seniors activity, located in different neighborhoods and districts, with different social contexts.
In this way, the constitution of the Club Map for the Elderly has to do with the opportunities, nature and idiosyncrasy of the different entities.
The different realities can be translated into inequalities between the activity groups of elders or Elder Units.
These must be corrected, working individually with each one of them.
