THE PROJECT · IN PREPARATION
About us
Presente is a project in preparation: care for older people in Cali, in two forms — in the family's own home, and in a shared house for twelve to eighteen people.
Where this comes from
We've spent a year looking at how an older person is cared for in Cali when the children live abroad. We talked to families, to caregivers and to care homes. The two forms of the service came out of those conversations, and so did the list of what we refuse to do.
Why Cali
Because everything needed is here: families with children in the United States and Spain, and women with years of experience caring for people who work with no contract and no social security.
Where the project stands
NOW — Listening to families and caregivers in Cali, and using this site to find out who's waiting for us.
NEXT — Building the team of caregivers and choosing the house.
2027 — The first home care starts and La Casa opens.
We say this rather than promise what we can't yet deliver.
