Casa Amalia – home for the elderly, located in the centre of Victoria, has reopened its doors today after the Covid-19 pandemic.

This home offers a safe family environment, with comfort and care for the elderly and those suffering with dementia.

During a visit to the home, Minister for Gozo Clint Camilleri, explained that this residence specialises in dementia care services which are available both during the day and at night, meaning that carers can leave their loved ones for a while in the home.

“This is because dementia creates pressure not only on those suffering from it, but on their carers as well,” he said.He explained that Casa Amalia is a public-private partnership between the Ministry for Gozo and iCare Ltd as part of a government free service. The centre can host up to 23 clients during the day and overnight.

Customers have the opportunity to participate in different activities including crafts, gardening, housework, cooking, movie nights, bingo and entertainment such as karaoke and other activities.

These activities enable customers to express themselves, maintain their good relations, while in the process reduce the effects left by the lack of memory and therefore lead to a better quality of life, the Minister said.

Anyone interested in applying for this service can make an appointment to visit this residence on info@icare.com.mt or call on 21551000. One can also register by visiting https://mgozservices.gov.mt/
