Mediterranean Homes' "Touch of Kindness" Campaign Brings Life-Saving Technology to Local Institutions

MALAGA, SPAIN - In a significant expansion of their "Touch of Kindness" campaign, Kelly and Tyler Summerell of Mediterranean Homes have announced the installation of two new Samaritan PAD 350P defibrillators at key community establishments: Afacoal - Asociación de Alzheimer de Coín, and the Huertas Viejas primary school. These installations are part of an initiative to enhance emergency preparedness within inland Costa del Sol.

The first installation will take place at Afacoal, a cornerstone in the community since 2003, known for its dedication to supporting individuals with Alzheimer's and dementia, as well as their families. On November 20th at 16:00, Mediterranean Homes will conduct training for the use of the defibrillator, with an unveiling ceremony to follow the next day at approximately 12:30. This life-saving device will also be accessible to two other vital organizations housed within the same daycare centre: the AECC – Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer, and the Asociación Decolores - Familias con Diversidad Funciones, amplifying the impact of this initiative. 

Afacoal has been a beacon of hope, providing advice, raising awareness, and offering support to approximately 600 patients and 1,100 family members affected by Alzheimer's and dementia. With 22 people currently under their care and 4 specialists employed, Afacoal's work extends from psycho-stimulation techniques to individual and group psychological therapies for families and caregivers.

The second installation is scheduled for Huertas Viejas primary school on November 27th at 16:00, with the unveiling ceremony the next day. This proactive measure by Mediterranean Homes ensures that the youngest members of the community and their educators have the protection they deserve.

Mediterranean Homes, while renowned for facilitating the acquisition of a wide range of properties in the inland Costa del Sol, has always prioritised community well-being. "It's about more than property; it's about people. By equipping these establishments with defibrillators and the necessary training for five key staff, we're investing in the safety and health of our community," says Kelly Summerell.

This initiative not only equips the institutions with the necessary tools but also empowers them through comprehensive training sessions. The Summerell’s vision for a community fortified against medical emergencies is becoming a reality, one heartbeat at a time.

A group sponsored by Mediterranean Homes.EU to raise awareness of where to locate defibrillators in the towns and villages throughout the Costa del Sol, how to access them, and how easy it is to use one.

Here's what you can do to help. 

Please post photos with the exact locations of an AED (automated external defibrillator) in your area, and state clearly the name of the town or village where it can be found. 

Then invite as many people as possible in the surrounding areas that you know to this group.  Any advice from trained paramedics is welcome, along with details of training sessions on CPR and Defibrillator use locally.
