Celebrating Accessibility and Wellness: El Cabildo Majorero’s Open Day at the Therapeutic Pool
Yesterday, El Cabildo Majorero held an exciting open day at the therapeutic pool, a pivotal initiative driven by the island’s Social Action Department in partnership with the service provider. This event aimed to familiarize users, their families, caregivers, and representatives from the third sector with the state-of-the-art facilities and specialized services available to those in need.
A Guided Tour for the Community
Participants were treated to a guided tour of the socio-health complex, providing them with an insider’s look at a resource that is already operating at full capacity within the Insular Center for Disability Care in Puerto del Rosario. The tour emphasized the facility’s commitment to excellence and highlighted the various programs designed to support individuals with disabilities or dependence.
Discovering Quality Facilities
One of the standout features of this health infrastructure is its total accessibility and specialized equipment. Visitors explored a range of amenities, including a sauna, Turkish bath, and a hydrotherapy pool equipped with Bali waterfalls and cervical massagers. This well-designed environment ensures that each user receives tailored care, enhancing their overall experience and well-being.
A Team Committed to Professional Care
The therapeutic pool service is managed by a dedicated multidisciplinary team that includes coordinators, physical activity technicians, monitors, and assistants. This professional staffing ensures a safe and specialized attention, aimed at improving the quality of life for individuals with disabilities on the island of Fuerteventura. Their commitment to personalized care creates a supportive atmosphere that fosters rehabilitation and wellness.
Community Impact: A Fundamental Advance in Care
Lola García, the president of El Cabildo, emphasized that this therapeutic space represents a fundamental advancement in the social and health care sector on the island. By establishing such a facility, the Cabildo is taking significant strides toward enhancing accessibility and health support for its residents.
Addressing Community Needs
Victor Alonso, the Councilor for Social Action, highlighted the therapeutic pool’s role in addressing a significant demand within the island’s geography. Currently, the service is available for users at Cabildo’s socio-health centers, but there are plans to expand access to the broader social sector and classrooms. This forward-thinking approach aims to ensure that more members of the community can benefit from the specialized services offered.
A Vision for the Future
As the community comes together to celebrate this milestone, it is evident that the therapeutic pool will be a vital resource for those seeking support and rehabilitation. This facility not only underscores the importance of accessibility in health care but also reflects a vision of a more inclusive society where individuals with disabilities are empowered to lead fulfilling lives.
The commitment of El Cabildo Majorero to improve social health services signals a brighter future for the residents of Fuerteventura, reinforcing the idea that wellness is a community affair and that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive.
