This initiative brings essential care closer to the interior and reduces the need to travel to other specialized centers. A municipal spokesperson has highlighted the importance of maintaining such a service in an inland town and emphasized the effort made by the City Council to make it possible, both through the cession of spaces and the financing of the service.
“"Montanejos has been committed to DACEM for over six years to make an essential service possible for people with brain injury, who are also people with reduced mobility or difficulties traveling to specialized centers in other locations."
The City Council provides the space for the service, in the TouristInfo building, and assumes the financing of treatments for users, who only have to contribute a small part of the cost. This municipal contribution allows a resource to be maintained in Montanejos that, otherwise, would be very difficult for many families to sustain.
The service is provided on Fridays, with group and individual sessions of speech therapy, physiotherapy, neuropsychology, and social work, depending on the needs of each user. In addition to therapeutic care, the resource also offers guidance to families and support in adapting to the new situation derived from the diagnosis.
“"Municipal support is fundamental for users to access rehabilitation, both due to its cost and the lack of such resources in rural areas."
In this same vein, the City Council wants to continue expanding resources linked to the care of people with reduced mobility. To this end, it is announced that an amphibious chair will be installed at the Fuente de los Baños, with the aim that DACEM service users can also be among the first to enjoy this resource.
