Homes - Residence | ASSOCIACIÓ ALBA

Associació Alba works to ensure the right to decent housing for all people, following the principles of Article 19 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which defends the right to live independently and be included in the community.

We are committed to a Person-Centered Planning (PCP) model, where each individual can choose where and with whom they want to live, receiving the necessary support to ensure their autonomy and quality of life.

The Residential Homes are intended for people with intellectual disabilities who need different types of support to lead an independent life, both at home and in the community. In these spaces, care is provided from 5 p.m. to 9 a.m. every day of the year, and 24 hours a day on weekends and holidays. In addition, we offer a relationship of trust, closeness, and a family-like environment for both the individuals we support and their families.

Currently, we manage three residential homes that offer different levels of support depending on each person’s needs.
