New blog shares reflections from a 'Grand Tour' across Europe in search of innovations in older people’s housing and care homes

This blog by Ignacio Gutiérrez, Former Manager at Monteparís Mayores (opens new window), a contemporary close care facility and day centre in a suburb of Madrid, explores the fascinating journey of discovering and comparing innovative later living and care projects across Europe.

Setting out from Spain to visit Sweden in the 2010s to broaden his knowledge on the diversity of housing for older people and care homes, Ignacio has more recently toured later living and care projects in the UK. His blog shares key learnings and comparisons from exploring different offerings in different nations and what inspiration he has found elsewhere that could be deployed back in Spain.
