Radars was activated a year ago
as a response to the aging of the
population in the municipality of
Xàbia, as more and more elderly
people live alone or isolated, with
difficulties, or do not have support
networks.
The two main difficulties of this
program are geographically -
in Xàbia, the population is very
scattered, making contact between
them difficult, many of them live in
residential areas of chalets, located
in beach, mountain, and urban
areas. language.
Many of the elderly are of foreign
origin and do not speak Spanish,
interact in small groups of the same
nationality and have little contact
with social and public resources in
the area, thus increasing the risk of
isolation and loneliness.
These people also do not have many
support networks, since the extended
family usually resides abroad.
