The Associació Alba works to uphold the right to decent housing for all individuals, following the principles of Article 19 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which advocates for the right to live independently and be included in the community.
We are committed to a person-centered model (PCP), where each individual can choose where and with whom they want to live while receiving the necessary support to ensure their autonomy and quality of life.
Our Residential Homes are designed for people with intellectual disabilities who require different levels of support to lead an independent life, both in their own home and within the community. In these spaces, we provide care from 5 PM to 9 AM, 365 days a year, and 24-hour support on weekends and holidays. Additionally, we offer a trustworthy, close, and family-like approach to both the individuals we support and their families.
Currently, we manage three residential homes that provide varying levels of support according to each person’s needs.
Accommodation adapted to individual needs.
Welcoming and cohabitation in a safe and family-like environment.
Meals and support in managing nutrition.
Personal care and assistance.
Health and safety support within the home.
Promotion of personal autonomy and healthy lifestyle habits.
Support for cohabitation and social relationships.
Encouragement of leisure and recreational activities.
Ongoing guidance and supervision.
Support in situations of complex behavior.
Involvement and collaboration with families.
How to Access a Place?
There are two ways to access residential homes:
Public Route (Department of Work, Social Affairs, and Families)
A vacant spot is required.
The application must be submitted to the Department.
Co-payment:
Part of the cost is funded by the Administration.
The remaining amount is paid by the individual based on their financial capacity.
A minimum of 60% of the IRSC (398.39€) is guaranteed as personal allowance.
If the individual's income is below this amount, the cost of the place is 0€.
An estimated co-payment amount can be consulted before applying.
Private Route
An interview with the housing social worker must be requested.
The level of support needed by the individual will be assessed.
The monthly cost will be calculated based on the required support.
