The organization Llars Compartides, which promotes a model of dignified aging in companionship for older people with low incomes, has joined the iSocial Foundation as a new member

The iSocial Foundation continues to expand its network of member organizations with the incorporation of Llars Compartides, a non-profit entity that works to offer a stable, community-based and dignified housing alternative for older people with limited financial resources. With this addition, the Foundation now counts 22 member organizations.

Founded in 2003, Llars Compartides aims to improve the quality of life of older people through a shared living model that fosters personal autonomy and dignity. Its mission is structured around three main goals: creating and maintaining permanent shared homes, promoting autonomy among older residents, and raising awareness about the challenges of aging in our society.

Currently, the organization manages 14 shared homes —9 in Barcelona and 5 in Badalona— where 56 older people live together. Residents are typically referred by social services or third-sector organizations. The model offers an innovative and community-based solution to the housing difficulties faced by many older individuals with low pensions.

By joining the iSocial Foundation, Llars Compartides brings valuable experience in alternative housing for older people and aligns itself with iSocial’s collective project to drive innovation in social services. This partnership strengthens a shared commitment to transforming care models by placing people and their real needs at the center, through solutions that combine innovation and social impact.

With this new addition, the iSocial Foundation welcomes an organization that offers a bold and transformative perspective on aging, and contributes to the growth of a network that promotes co-creation, knowledge sharing, and collaboration among organizations and other stakeholders to improve the social services of the future.
