The Llar of Calvià has received the first Quality Certification of the Spanish Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology, SEGG, in terms of the accreditation of the Services offered to users of the Municipal Senior Citizen's Home. The main objective of the SEGG is "to influence from the scientific point of view the well-being of the elderly", the main objective of the Llar of Calvià, SA is, amongst others, "to accredit the public service it provides"

With this Quality certification, the municipal company acquires the commitment to continue the project of continuous improvement and to continue implementing for the first time, the appropriate quality standards, in order to offer a quality residential service for both users and workers.

The new Person-Centered Care (ACP) management project initiated in 2016, which focuses mainly on life quality and quality management, was the decisive step for the commitment made.

Two initiatives have been developed, one with Cáritas volunteers and another in collaboration with Flor d'Ametler
