What CEAPs Circulo Empresarial Atención a las Personas does

CEAPs (Círculo Empresarial de Atención a las Personas) is a Spanish non-profit business association headquartered in Madrid that functions as the principal representative body for the country's elderly care and dependency sector. Through a federated model, it aggregates 14 regional employer associations covering all Spanish autonomous communities plus three national companies (Macrosad, Tunstall, and Vitalia Home). The combined network represents approximately 60% of Spain's dependency care sector, more than 100,000 professionals, and a service infrastructure comprising 1,576 residential centers (106,028 places), 758 day care centers (20,118 places), 71,444 home care services, and 469,928 telecare services.

CEAPs is not a technology company and operates no proprietary technology platform or AI-driven product. Its service portfolio is representational and advocacy-oriented: coordination of training and institutional contacts across regional associations, policy advocacy before government bodies (notably targeting 2% of GDP dependency funding and a uniform 4% IVA rate), organization of the annual BabyBoom Summit as a national sector forum, publication of a Code of Ethics and Good Governance (February 2026), public awareness campaigns on elder mistreatment, and an employment portal connecting care professionals with member organizations. The association itself runs on a lean staff of 8 people.

Revenue is generated through membership dues from its associated regional employer associations and corporate members on a recurring/subscription basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Strategic direction under the new president Rafael Sánchez-Ostiz (in office since February 2025) emphasizes addressing the structural workforce deficit, professional recognition, public financing, and cross-border labor mobility — including a 2026 proposal for an "Iberoamerican skills passport."

Broad incumbents

• LeadingAge: US association of nonprofit aging services providers, including nursing homes, assisted living, and home care. LeadingAge parallels CEAPs in advocating for mission-driven elderly care providers and developing quality and ethics frameworks for the sector.
• American Health Care Association / National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL): US national association representing assisted living, nursing home, and residential care providers. AHCA/NCAL performs an analogous representative and advocacy function for care providers as CEAPs does in Spain, but at a much larger scale.
• European Confederation of Care Home Organisations (EDE): European-level umbrella for national care home employer associations. EDE represents the supranational layer that CEAPs-affiliated members participate in, providing EU-wide advocacy analogous to CEAPs' national role.

Direct peers

• AESTE (Asociación Empresarial de Servicios para la Dependencia): Spanish business association representing private dependency care service providers. AESTE overlaps directly with CEAPs in advocating for elderly care operators before Spanish institutions, representing a competing umbrella for the same member segment.
• National Care Forum (UK): UK membership body for not-for-profit social care providers. The National Care Forum mirrors CEAPs' role in representing care providers, advocating for funding and workforce policy, and setting quality standards for elderly and dependent care.
• LARES (Asociación Lares): Spanish non-profit association of social and residential care providers, particularly aligned with religious and social initiative entities. LARES competes with CEAPs to represent care providers and influence Spanish dependency policy.
