Madrid's residential plan names Boadilla site

Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s government has named Boadilla del Monte as one of the municipalities in Madrid’s new Plan 40-40 for elder-care housing and day services. (comunidad.madrid) (eldebate.com) The plan, presented on April 27, calls for 40 new residences and 40 new day centers across the region, with 8,000 total places and an investment of more than 500 million euros. (comunidad.madrid) (telemadrid.es) Madrid’s regional government said 6,000 of those places would be residential beds and 2,000 would be for day care, with at least 3,200 reserved for the public network. The rest would be privately run places accessed through the dependency-care subsidy known as the “cheque servicio.” (telemadrid.es) (comunidad.madrid) Boadilla del Monte appears on the list of 18 municipalities outside Madrid city where 20 residences and 20 day centers are planned. The same regional rollout also names Leganés, Móstoles, Alcorcón, Tres Cantos, Alcalá de Henares and Aranjuez, among others. (eldebate.com) (telemadrid.es) The first residence in the program is in Las Rosas, in Madrid’s San Blas-Canillejas district, and the second is planned for El Cañaveral in Vicálvaro. In Madrid city, the government says 20 complexes will be spread across 13 districts. (comunidad.madrid) (eldebate.com) The model is built around smaller facilities, with no more than 150 places per residence and at least half of rooms set aside as single occupancy. The government also says each resident would have an individualized care plan, telemedicine support and fall-prevention systems in rooms and beds. (eldebate.com) (comunidad.madrid) The package also includes more than 300 supported homes for older people with mild or moderate dependency, distributed across at least five plots, plus nursery schools integrated into some sites. Ayuso’s government says that setup is meant to keep residents in more domestic settings and closer to intergenerational activity. (telemadrid.es) (madridiario.es) The regional government has framed the project as a response to a shortage of elder-care places. El Debate, citing the Spanish Association of Social Services Directors and Managers, said Madrid currently has 56,276 places in 493 residences and needs nearly 8,000 more to meet demand. (eldebate.com) Opposition parties in the Madrid assembly attacked both the substance and the timing. Más Madrid, PSOE and Vox questioned the plan on April 27, and PSOE spokesperson Mar Espinar said the region should negotiate a new model of fully public residences instead of expanding what she described as a “desmantelamiento” of current services. (europapress.es) The fight now turns on land, ownership and control. Europa Press reported that socialist mayors told the regional government they would cede plots only if the new residences are “100% públicas,” while Ayuso’s team is pressing ahead with a public-private formula that now includes Boadilla del Monte on the map.
