The Department of Social Welfare of the City of Molina de Segura, through its Unit for the Elderly and the Participatory Budgeting process, has organized a Workshops Program for the Elderly, aimed at the entire population of the municipality over 65 years (about 8,702 people ).
The program has been presented at a press conference on Tuesday, February 4, by the First Deputy Mayor and Councilor for Social Welfare, Angel Navarro García, and the head of the Senior Unit, Manuela Zamora Baños.
The activities are aimed at improving the quality of life of the elderly through activities that promote active aging, and are framed in four fields:
Psychological support, workshops and individualized attention.
Nutrition workshops and personalized consultations.
Introduction to new technologies: tablet management.
Basic life support and management of the defibrillator.
As explained by the Councilor for Social Welfare, "from the Senior Unit we have been responding to the needs, demands and realities of all the elders of the municipality of Molina de Segura, and through the 18 centers of elderly we dynamize said group, programming activities in order to improve their quality of life in society, encouraging their participation, based on the lines of active aging. "
"Public administrations have the responsibility to carry out the task of meeting the needs of all groups and this City Council, as a result of the 2018 Participatory Budgeting process, and within the municipal proposals chosen in the budget process under the 2019 budget, these workshops for the elderly were approved, among other actions, with a budget of 27,000 euros, "says Ángel Navarro.
Thus, from the Senior Unit, and in response to the demands of the group, the elderly are provided with actions framed in the promotion of active and healthy aging, which are complementary to those they have been doing for four years, both through of the collaboration agreement with the Association of the Elderly, such as through the Dynamization of the Centers, with the budget line of the Department of Social Welfare, and which respond to that general objective of improving the quality of life of the elderly.
There are currently 18 senior activity groups in the municipality, located in different neighborhoods and districts.
These pose a different social context and therefore the Map of Club de Mayores has to do with the opportunities, nature and idiosyncrasies of the neighborhood itself.
There is therefore a different reality in each association of elders and they present an inequality, which must be corrected, working individually with each of them, and as far as possible within their own centers.
