Social Democrat councillor Pere Baró has pressed the Andorran government to urgently address care shortfalls for residents and excessive workloads for staff at Residència Albó, a facility operated by Fundació Privada Nostra Senyora de Meritxell.
Baró submitted written questions to the executive seeking operational details, including resident numbers and profiles, admission standards, and whether some individuals now need support exceeding the home's original scope. He also sought information on potential alternative accommodations for such cases.
The inquiries covered staffing adequacy relative to resident needs, any operational changes requiring resource shifts, and risks of overloads affecting care quality or employee well-being.
Baró asked about existing or upcoming steps to protect standards for both groups, as well as government plans to bolster capacity, modify services, or provide new options for those without appropriate placements.
The Partit Socialdemòcrata group highlighted concerns over user attention and working conditions, demanding swift executive action to fix the issues.
"We cannot wait for problems to grow before intervening. Attention to the most vulnerable must remain a priority," Baró said.
