MICs Sant Jordi

Independent living with support

MICs Sant Jordi is an apartment complex designed for people who need daily support, have disabilities, or have limited mobility. It is managed by Fundació MICs Sant Jordi, which is connected to Fundació Llars de L'Amistat Cheshire, an organization with more than 50 years of experience. MICs stands for Mòduls Independents de Convivència (Independent Living Units): private homes with adaptive equipment and optional 24-hour assistance for people seeking greater independence.

Four apartment types are available. All have an equipped kitchen with a cooktop, dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator; a TV; air conditioning and heating; Wi-Fi; and assistance alarm systems in the bedroom and bathroom. A washer and dryer are available on each floor.
