The Virgen del Socorro Residence, celebrated again after two years, its Gala of People with Disabilities, in which, presented by the journalist, Paqui Martinez, the users of this residence, have been the real protagonists.

After two years of pandemic, the day of people with disabilities was once again celebrated in style, as they have been doing in recent years. Tíjola is the epicentre of care for the disabled and the elderly. One of the most important companies in Andalusia, Grupo Gerial, is based in this town, from where numerous centres are managed throughout Andalusia and also with new residences already in other parts of Spain. The basis of our commitment is the commitment to care based on affection, professionalism and as if it were a family.
