What ORPEA Ibérica S.A.U. does

ORPEA Ibérica S.A.U. (operating commercially as Bouco, legal name emeis iberia, S.A.U.) is the Spanish operating subsidiary of the France-based emeis Group (formerly ORPEA). The company operates and owns residential care homes, day-care centers, and serviced apartments for elderly and dependent adults across Spain, with a footprint of nearly 60 centers spanning more than 20 provinces and a capacity of over 8,000 residential beds and approximately 1,000 day-care places.

The company's core offering is a portfolio of integrated elderly-care services. Residential homes provide 24-hour accommodation, nursing, and personalized care; day-care centers deliver supervised daytime programming for seniors who return home in the evening; serviced apartments target seniors seeking independent living with on-site support; and a layer of specialized clinical units address psychogeriatrics, physical rehabilitation, stroke and brain-injury recovery, and Alzheimer's and dementia care. Service delivery is built around multidisciplinary professional teams covering physical, cognitive, social, and emotional wellbeing, supported by in-house kitchens and a community-living model rather than an institution-first approach. No proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI component is disclosed; the underlying stack is conventional care-service operations.

Commercially, Bouco charges residents (and/or their families) recurring monthly fees for residential and apartment services, and recurring periodic fees for day-care, with pricing quote-based on assessed care needs. Distribution is direct to end consumers via the Bouco website, a customer-service line (900 264 920), and in-person engagement at facilities across Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga, and the broader Spanish geography. The company is privately held under the emeis Group; emeis iberia, S.A.U. is the primary Spanish legal entity, and revenue and ownership details are not publicly disclosed in available sources.
