At Hogares Mar del Plata each plan is designed individually based on each resident's needs. We invite you to contact us for personalized information with no commitment. Costs in Argentine pesos are typically very competitive compared to North American or European care facilities.

Question 2

Can I bring my parent from abroad to your home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We frequently work with families based abroad — in the United States, Europe, and other countries — who want to relocate a parent to Mar del Plata. We assist with the entire admission process via WhatsApp, email or video call, in English or Spanish, including remote evaluation, paperwork guidance and a smooth transition once your parent arrives.

The service includes accommodation in an equipped room, complete meals (breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner), basic medication and medical care, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, music therapy and physical activity. The professional team supports the resident throughout the entire process.

Question 4

Do you accept urgent admissions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have the structure and team to receive residents in urgent situations, such as hospital discharges or crisis situations. Admission requires brief prior coordination — which can be done by phone or WhatsApp — to ensure a safe and supported transition.

Question 5

Do you have 24-hour medical and nursing care?

Accepted Answer

All our homes have nursing service and medical care. The nursing team ensures care and medication monitoring across all shifts, with specific protocols for each resident.

What are visiting hours?

Visiting hours are every day from 9 AM to 12 PM and from 4 PM to 7 PM. We understand the importance of family bonds and encourage regular contact between residents and their loved ones. Video calls with relatives abroad can be coordinated at any time.

Question 7

What is the admission process like?

Accepted Answer

The process begins with an initial consultation (in person, by phone or by video call) where we assess the future resident's needs. We then coordinate a visit to the home, perform a medical and social evaluation, and agree on the conditions of admission. We accompany the family in every step so the transition is as smooth as possible.

Question 8

What is the difference between your four homes?

Each home has a distinct profile: El Hogar de Rosa offers an intimate, family-style environment (Independencia 933); Residencia Jose Ignacio has modern infrastructure and green spaces (20 de Septiembre 858); Hogar Otoñal combines therapeutic support with warmth (España 844); and Hogar Gema specializes in differentiated care and rehabilitation (Tomás Guido 956). We can advise you to find the most suitable option.

How do I know if my parent needs a senior care home?

Accepted Answer

Some indicators that may signal the need for a specialized residence include: difficulty performing daily activities independently, frequent risk of falls, diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's requiring constant supervision, prolonged social isolation, or when home care exceeds the family's possibilities. Our team can advise you with no commitment.

Question 11

We adapt the care plan to any change in the resident's health status. We maintain continuous communication with the family, coordinate with specialists when necessary, and adjust services to ensure the best possible wellbeing at every stage.
