Estudio de factibilidad para la creación de un centro enfocado en el cuidado y recreación de las personas de la tercera edad en la ciudad de Riobamba, año 2023

Abstract

Abstract: The creation of a care and recreation center for older adults is of utmost importance because it responds to the need to provide a safe and stimulating environment for this population. This type of center not only focuses on physical and medical care, but also prioritizes social interaction, recreational activities, and emotional support. Given the scarcity of centers focused on the elderly in Riobamba, the feasibility study reveals strong interest from the population, with 97% in favor of the creation of a new center. The proposal for the center includes innovative resources with quality facilities, recreational areas, and medical, dental, and psychological services, prioritizing emotional well-being and quality of life over a traditional geriatric approach. The financial study supports the feasibility of the project with a positive NPV and an IRR of 40%, making the center economically sustainable and meeting the expectations of future residents, positioning it as a unique reference in the supply of services for this segment of the population.
