San Juan de Dios Centre,
Ciempozuelos (Madrid)
The San Juan de Dios Centre in Ciempozuelos (Madrid) is a care and
social health centre for patients with mental health problems, with a total
of 1,167 beds spread across 15 care units which make up four distinct
departments: mental health (short, medium and long stay), mental disabilities, elderly mental health and somatic care. The centre had been visited
the previous year, meaning that this visit concentrated mainly on two units
which had not been thoroughly investigated during the first. Specifically,
Unit 5B (people with disabilities and behavioural disorders, known as ‘dual
limitation’) and the URECO (Behavioural Rehabilitation Unit). The decision
to admit a patient to the URECO, where the maximum length of stay is 12
months, is taken by a committee of professionals from the centre itself,
whilst admission to Unit 5B, where there is no established maximum length
of stay, is determined by the diagnosis and the branch of the Department
of Social Affairs in Madrid, which funds these places.
