Rincón de la Victoria inaugurates the Tartessos Center, an innovative senior 'cohousing' to socially integrate elderly people

Rincón de la Victoria, in its mission to continue renewing the municipality in terms of infrastructure, has opened the doors of the Centro Tartessos de Rincón de la Victoria, conceived to promote a model of collaborative and active coexistence among elderly people. This is a unique initiative in the municipality that focuses on active aging, social integration, and improving the quality of life in the senior stage.

The Proyecto Tartessos Cohousing Senior Málaga is based on a model of collaborative coexistence that offers a sustainable and supportive alternative to traditional aging. Its purpose is to promote autonomy, participation, and overall well-being of the elderly, in an environment where cooperation, mutual aid, and an active life are paramount.

The presentation of the new center was attended by the mayor of Rincón de la Victoria, Francisco Salado, along with the president of Tartessos, Jose Antonio López; the vice president, José Morgado; the secretary, Luisa Villegas; the councilor for Seniors, Nacho Cuadra, and the councilor for Public Works and General Services, Sergio Díaz. Also in attendance were the vice president of FAECTA, María del Mar Gómez, and Christian Jongeneel, representing the Vicente Ferrer Foundation, along with the partners who will be part of the new residential project.

During his speech, the mayor highlighted the "enormous social value of a project that is born with the vocation of improving the quality of life of our elderly." Salado described the opening of the center as "a real pleasure and a pride for the municipality, as it is an initiative full of goodness and benefits for the city."

The mayor also emphasized that "Tartessos will become a center with cultural, physical, leisure, and travel activities, in addition to working closely with the Senior Citizens' Area of the City Council to promote coexistence and fight against unwanted loneliness in the silver stage." In this regard, the mayor recalled that the Cohousing Senior Tartessos Málaga–Rincón de la Victoria, located at Avenida de Picasso number 13, will have spots reserved for local residents who are users of municipal social services, thus integrating the project into the local care network.

For his part, the president of Tartessos, José Antonio López, expressed his satisfaction with the opening of the center in Rincón de la Victoria. "We are very happy to be in this municipality, with high-performance facilities that represent an opportunity for everyone and that can become a benchmark that encourages others to follow this model," he noted.

With this opening, Rincón de la Victoria consolidates itself as one of the municipalities most committed to new formulas of care and coexistence for the senior population, integrating social innovation and care at the center of its welfare policies.
