What Hospital de Cuidados Laguna does

Hospital de Cuidados Laguna, promoted by the non-profit Fundación Vianorte-Laguna, is an integrated palliative and geriatric care center headquartered in Madrid, Spain. The organization operates one of Europe's largest palliative care hospitals by bed count and the first in Spain, complemented by geriatric residences (each with fewer than 30 beds for individualized care), a psychogeriatric day center, a 52-bed functional rehabilitation unit, outpatient consultations, home care with 24-hour telephone assistance, and Spain's only pediatric palliative day hospital. The care model is delivered by an interdisciplinary clinical team of approximately 132 employees spanning medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, neuropsychology, psychology, social work, and dependency technician roles, with collective experience from national and international centers.

The service portfolio includes Hospital de Cuidados Paliativos, Residencias Geriátricas, Centro de Día Psicogeriátrico, Unidad de Rehabilitación Funcional Geriátrica, Centro de Acompañamiento Integral al Paciente y Familia, Hospital de Día Pediátrico, Atención a Domicilio, Consultas Externas, Residencia de Atención Cognitiva, Programa de Estimulación Cognitiva Temprana, a Centro de Formación e Investigación, Brain Training (computerized cognitive stimulation), Musicoterapia, and a therapeutic terrace with more than two hectares of outdoor space.

As a registered non-profit foundation (CIF G84554302) constituted in 2005, Laguna does not publicly disclose patient care pricing. Its revenue mix comprises individual and corporate donations (preset amounts €10–€1,000 plus recurring "friend" memberships), public subsidies and contracts from Comunidad de Madrid and Fundación Iberdrola, legacy bequests exempt from inheritance tax due to nonprofit status, and subsidized training courses for caregivers and healthcare professionals. Go-to-market relies on direct admissions via healthcare system referrals, family inquiries, and community recommendations, supplemented by content marketing through its website, newsletters, LinkedIn, transparency reports, and patient/family narratives.

Product overview

Hospital de Cuidados Laguna, promoted by Fundación Vianorte-Laguna, operates as an integrated healthcare and social care center dedicated to caring for elderly people in situations of fragility and patients with advanced diseases without cure expectations.

Additional therapeutic offerings include Brain Training (computerized cognitive stimulation), Musicoterapia (music therapy), and a Centro de Formación e Investigación (training center for healthcare professionals). All services are integrated within the same facility, allowing patients to transition between different care levels while maintaining continuity of care.

Comparable as a much larger, broader incumbent offering overlapping elder and palliative care services across multiple countries.

Others
