Socio-Healthcare Area

Fundación Diagrama’s Socio-Healthcare Area promotes and develops centres, services, initiatives and actions aimed at satisfying the needs of every person that requires simultaneous and continuous personal and health care.

Using a model in which health is understood globally (physically, mentally and socially), these centres comprehensively attend to the psychosocial and medical needs of every group that requires this intervention: elderly people in a situation of dependency; people with a physical or mental disability; people with addiction issues; patients requiring palliative care; and people with mental health issues.

The basic principles of the Socio-Healthcare Area are as follows:

• Personalised support, in terms of the specific needs, characteristics and capabilities of the individual.
• Flexible care, adopting a dynamic approach which requires adaptation to emerging needs as they develop.
• Normalisation of an approach to daily life which takes into consideration the day-to-day needs of citizenship.
• Stimulation of the person’s capabilities, as well as protection factors and resilience.
• Promotion of the ability to choose.
• Encouragement of participation, developing activities where older people are able to take part in activities suited to their socio-cultural environment.
• Support for qualified professionals, willing to work within a team.
• Collaboration with the rest of agents involved in the care of the individual.

Within the Healthcare Area, Fundación Diagrama develops programmes, projects and initiatives related to the following:

• Promotion of good health
• Elderly dependents
• Physically or mentally disabled people
• Young people’s mental health
• People with addiction issues
• People with serious mental illness
