Fundació per a l'Atenció a Persones Dependents

What Fundació per a l'Atenció a Persones Dependents does

Fundació per a l'Atenció a Persones Dependents is a private non-profit foundation established in 2005 and headquartered in Cornellà de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain. It operates an integrated social-healthcare platform centered on the Residència Teresa Duran, a 134-bed residential care facility in the Sant Ildefons neighborhood, and extends into home care (Servei d'Atenció Domiciliària), daytime cognitive stimulation (Espai Memòria), caregiver support programs (Cornellà Cuida and Aula Cuidadora), a specialized caregiver placement agency (Agència de Col·locació), and an accredited training center (Campus Formació). The foundation also runs community-level preventive initiatives such as the Cop de Calor heat-monitoring campaign and the Ajudes Personals mobility-assistance service. In 2018 it served nearly 5,000 beneficiaries, including more than 4,500 elderly people through home care follow-up and approximately 2,000 families through its caregiver programs.

The foundation's service model is built on the Atenció Centrada en la Persona (ACP) person-centered care methodology, applied as the operating philosophy across the residence, and is delivered by a small team of 24 employees supplemented by partner entities and a volunteer network. It is one of only four entities in Catalonia habilitated by the Departament de Benestar i Família to serve non-professional caregivers, and the first generalist entity among them, which anchors a differentiated caregiver-support niche.

The business model is that of a publicly funded non-profit. Revenue is derived primarily from ongoing subsidies and service contracts with the Ajuntament de Cornellà, the Diputació de Barcelona, and the Generalitat de Catalunya, supplemented by grants from partners such as Obra Social 'La Caixa' and service fees set according to published tariffs. Go-to-market is relationship-led: institutional partnerships with public administrations drive service delivery contracts, while community outreach (monthly free Cornellà Cuida sessions, a weekly radio program on Ràdio Cornellà, community events, and referrals through municipal social services and health centers) drives beneficiary acquisition. The organization operates within Catalonia only and does not have commercial reseller or marketplace channels.
