Bearing in mind that 60% of the population of the Municipality of San Germán is made up of older adults, Mayor Virgilio Olivera Olivera is proposing to significantly intensify the administrative project related to such a vulnerable population through the southwestern town’s two centers for the elderly.

“Since we have been in the Mayor’s Office [since Jan. 11, 2021], one of our most important flags is the population of older adults, to whom we owe so much,” the mayor said. “Well, they have helped us, without a doubt, to write the beautiful and rich Sangerme history.”

“With that in mind, we’ll begin to intensify the services that we offer in our elderly centers through the numerous and continuing activities and very attractive services for this population,” Olivera said, referring to the Luis R. Ufret Toro and Hoconucu Bajo senior activity centers.

“Our services are directed toward improving the quality of life of our loved ones and respecting elderly people, offering them a secure, very attractive and supportive environment,” the mayor added. “Among the services that we provide are duly certified nursing, following the medical recommendations and support in preventive care.”
