Edelweiss Services
There is a highly qualified team working in each of our residences, who are experts in dealing with elderly people. Furthermore, we offer a high quality health assistance in the centre, with hospital staff that deals with any kind of care or treatments the residents may need. Any setback will be solved in minutes, so we can guarantee total peace of mind to our residents and their relatives.
Moreover, our infrastructures are adapted to the needs of the elderly ─slopes, support rails, adapted bathrooms, etc. In our centres, we also take care of the diet and we make sure a healthy and balanced diet, such as the Mediterranean one, is provided; we also control the special diets that have been medically prescribed. We also offer physiotherapy services, gym, podiatry, hairdressing... and we also have the medical collaboration of Policlínica Barcelona.
But Edelweiss is much more than that. We encourage our residents to keep their own hobbies and we complement them with a wide range of fun activities, created from a dynamic, artistic and cultural perspective. These are also designed to motivate their participation and their relatives', so their relationships get stronger, and their time in Edelweiss is similar to a holiday with plenty of sun, relax and rest.

Circadian cycle room:
The room has a special illumination that improves the mood of dependent people (Alzheimer, all kinds of dementia and terminally ill patients) and helps them relax in moments of stress or aggressiveness. Many of these patients are afraid of darkness and the right illumination calms them and helps them sleep, regulating their circadian cycle (many studies reveal that circadian cycle is the one regulating the sleeping hours and allowing us to rest and not suffering mood swings nor alterations in the hormones that regulate our body).
