Post by: malabu on September 08, 2016, 10:27:33 AM
Can anyone please advise me, i have a friend with brain tumor terminal, his wife pays for help 2 times a day but is now at the stage where full time support more or less is required, the doctor had him admitted to hospital but 4 hours latter he was returned to home, reason given it is a social condition not medical, she is now looking for more or less full time help, i would add he is 6.3 she is 5.2 and a third of his weight. any sensible help please,

Social Services are best bet. Each town hall will have a department. Legal residency would be required.

The Red Cross might be worth checking also. There's a lot of them not doing very much.

Servicios Sociales

Don't know if that link works.

If living in Puerto del Rosario muncipality, they do provide home help and cater for the needs of the individual. It's their job. same for the rest of the island.

The problem will be the length of time to set it all up.

There are contact details, telephone number and email address available on the above website.

The link didn't work as I wished.

Not sure why you can't find the Red Cross. It's called Cruz Roja here.
