Law 25/2013, from 28 November, dissolution of the residence for the elderly Solà d'enclar since the General Council at its session of November 28 2013 has approved the following: law 25/2013, from 28 November, dissolution of the residence for the elderly Solà d'enclar preamble the residence for the elderly Solà d'enclar (hereinafter Residence Sola d'enclar) , was created by virtue of the regulation relating to the heritage assets made available to the m. i.

So was established the creation of this centre, as an autonomous public body with full legal and moral ability to act to fulfill your purposes.

The Residencia Solà d'enclar was in origin the first public health center of Andorra intended to provide services to residential reception for people over 65 years who lived permanently all over the country, and became for many years the only centre that offers this kind of services. However, the progressive growth in population and the lengthening of life expectancy, did soon it was impossible that the residence Sola d'enclar could give response to national needs and that is why it was necessary to resort to the hiring of new residential places in healthcare centres outside the country.

Over time, the residential sector has been evolving national community and have created several residential structures healthcare for the elderly, both public and private character.

It is not but until the year 2009, as a result of the implementation of the new Health Centre the Cedar, which is the so-called Health Care Network (XASS) of Andorra, a network that is created with the aim of being able to face the challenge of dependency and the increasing need of the population to have centres have curated by the sanitary attention for the elderly. The network currently includes three residential healthcare centres, and defines the corresponding model of care (assisted, assisted and non-medicated), as well as the different diets of accommodations offered (residential, day centre and respite program) and the respective financing model. Access to these resources is regulated by means of a scale of assessment of the degree of dependence and a technical evaluation Committee (COVASS), which, according to this scale, given to each case, the resource that is best suited to your needs.

Five years after the launch of the health center the Cedar, which was conceived with a considerable capacity (150 seats) and initially launched with a partial opening of the places available, it has been found that the XASS presents a sufficiently sized and resources adapted to meet conveniently the needs of the population for years to come.

In this context, and given the need to adapt and renew facilities and certain equipment of the residence Sola d'enclar, after over thirty years at the service of Andorran society, is much more rational than this can be integrated to the Cedar Community, in order to improve both the quality of care for the elderly, as well as fairness in the access to the resources available.
