State reference centres are set up as instruments of the General Administration of the State which, in the exercise of their powers, serve as a means of cooperation between public and private resources for the promotion and improvement of services in the sector, where their situation so requires.

Community and residential social resources require continued reorientation that will encourage the permanence of the person at risk or in a situation of dependence in his/her usual environment and/or sociofamiliar, in line with what marks Law 39/2006 of 14 December.

Within this type of resource, day centers have proven to be an appropriate alternative for the increase in the quality of life of the family nucleus where a person at risk or in a situation of dependency lives, as they address globally the problem, offering relief and support to the caregiver family, while providing comprehensive care to those who may present problems of dependency. In addition, the availability of a temporary accommodation service, which optimizes the investment effort of this resource from any of its analysis perspectives, offers an unrivaled opportunity for this center to be converted into reference for the rest of the State.

This Soria State Reference Center contributes to covering several aspects: conceptualizing this service model, unifying and/or coordinating certain procedures, homogenizing the levels of care that they must offer the day centres, temporary accommodation and living units in small residences for persons at risk or in a situation of dependency, as well as laying the foundations for the quality of care provided in these establishments.

All from sustainability and efficiency budgets that enable your replication in environments with limited supply of these types of resources.
