the autonomy of approximately 100  elderly people with reduced mobility and scarce resources living alone  in the Ciudad Lineal district of Madrid, through adaptation of their  homes to their new situation, while at the same time enhancing the  employability of 70 young people at risk of social exclusion, who will  be trained to carry out the required geriatric adaptations. <\/p>\n    \n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current situation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An ageing population, together with our current urban lifestyle, has led to an increase in situations of social isolation of elderly people living alone. The publicly funded network of care for the elderly provides some of the needs for this social group in specialized centres (day-care centres, centres for elderly people, nursing homes, etc.). However, many elderly people living alone cannot access these resources due to problems of mobility and the existence of architectural barriers, which in turn increases their social isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, youth  unemployment in Spain is a serious problem, with unemployment rates  close to 50%. Work opportunities for young people could be improved  through training and work experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The\n project aims to increase the autonomy of approximately 100 elderly \npeople with limited financial resources in the Ciudad Lineal district of\n Madrid (as identified by Social Services), through the implementation \nof geriatric adaptations and minor changes in their homes. These include\n the installation of walk-in showers, handrails, ramps, etc. or other \nservices such as the changing or removal of furniture, the installation \nand maintenance of small electrical appliances, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the\n project will also enhance the employability of 70 young persons who \nwill receive support for accessing the labour market through \noccupational training in home reforms and subsequently carrying out the \nrequired geriatric adaptations as work training. This will make later \nwork opportunities easier, either through self-employment or with an \nemployer. La Rueca will further support young persons opting to become \nself-employed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/m-wysiwig>\n\n\n    <m-projects-distributor2 :translations='{\n        &quot;prev&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,\n        &quot;next&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,\n        &quot;paginationseparator&quot;:&quot;of&quot;\n    }'>\n                        <h2 slot=\"title\">\n                Related projects                <\/h2>\n                        <a slot='button' title='See more projects' href='https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/business-lines\/projects\/'>\n            See more projects        <\/a>\n\n            <\/m-projects-distributor2>\n\n    ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":101376,"menu_order":0,"template":"","nivel-1":[],"nivel-2":[8128,12673,12656,5814,6214,12625],"nivel-3":[5891],"nivel-4":[5892],"nivel-5":[],"class_list":["post-122609","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","nivel-2-corporate-social-responsibility-en-us","nivel-2-discapacidad-en-us","nivel-2-instalaciones-en-us","nivel-2-health-and-safety-en-us","nivel-2-ngo-en-us","nivel-2-social-projects-en-us","nivel-3-spain-en-us","nivel-4-madrid-en-us"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>ADAPTANDO: A project Dealing with Geriatric Adaptations for Older People Living Alone - Ferrovial<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Welcome to the Ferrovial&#039;s website, global operator of sustainable infrastructure.
