Centro Alzheimer de la Fundación Reina Sofía, Research and care center in Vallecas, Spain.
The Alzheimer Center of the Queen Sofia Foundation is a facility in Madrid that provides residential care and medical services for people with Alzheimer's disease. The building houses residents in long-term care alongside a day center that serves outpatients from the community.
The center was founded in 2007 when the Queen initiated a program to support people with neurological diseases in Spain. This project became part of a broader effort to advance care and research for these conditions nationwide.
The center combines medical care with scientific research to develop better treatments for the disease. Staff work with residents using approaches adapted to how the condition progresses over time.
Visits are typically arranged in advance through the facility, as this is a care center with specific admission protocols. Contact the center beforehand to learn about visiting hours and any requirements for access.
The residential spaces are divided into nine separate modules designed like real homes and adjusted for different disease stages. This arrangement lets residents live in familiar settings while receiving the specialized care they need.
