Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to determine the technical, institutional, social, and financial feasibility of designing and implementing an institutional comprehensive wellness program for retired faculty and administrative staff of the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL) and their families in the city of Loja. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, with an applied and descriptive design, utilizing surveys of retirees, interviews with institutional stakeholders, and a review of relevant documents. The results show significant needs related to physical, emotional, and social well-being, as well as strong interest among retirees in participating in an institutional program focused on their comprehensive care. Furthermore, the research demonstrates that UTPL possesses the necessary technical capabilities, qualified human resources, physical and technological infrastructure, and a favorable institutional framework for implementing the program. The preliminary financial analysis indicates that the program is viable and sustainable through a shared financing model. The design and implementation of the comprehensive well-being program is feasible and relevant, and aligns with university social responsibility and active aging.
