In the framework of the Day of the Elderly, the Municipality of Concordia, through the Department of Senior Citizen Policies, carried out the second edition of this commemoration at the Juana Sarriegui de Isthilart Nursing Home. The event brought together senior citizens, family members, institutions, and local authorities in a space of integration and celebration.
The meeting aimed to honor and recognize the trajectory of senior citizens, highlighting their importance in the community and promoting an environment of gathering, recreation, and warmth. During the day, various recreational and interactive activities were carried out, which contributed to generating a festive and fraternal atmosphere.
Gabriel Enguelberg, Undersecretary of Development and Entrepreneurship, highlighted: “This day invites us to reflect on the place our senior citizens occupy in society. It is not only about recognizing their history, but also about accompanying them in the present, generating public policies and meeting spaces that make them feel like an active part of the community.”
For her part, Gladys Portugal, head of the Department of Senior Citizen Policies, expressed: “The Day of the Elderly reminds us of the importance of caring for and valuing our seniors, who have left a deep mark on our society. This celebration is a moment to accompany them, share, and recognize their life trajectory.”
The organization was carried out in conjunction with the coordination of the Juana Sarriegui de Isthilart Nursing Home and the management of the Nuestra Señora de Lourdes Grandparents' House. Also present were Andrea Chirino, coordinator of the Nursing Home, Margarita Cámara, director of the Grandparents' House, and Ricardo Lagraña, head of the Social Sports Department.
