The work is carried out according to the special needs of each user.The assessment of the psychosocial and functional characteristics of each person allows workers to decide which cases will be the first to return to the centers when the service is reactivated, something that will be determined by the Murcian Institute for Social Action (IMAS).The councilor for Social and Family Rights, Pilar Torres, explained that "the workers are making an exhaustive examination of each user to carry out the return to activity in the day-stay centers in an orderly manner and establishing priorities."The City Council currently has three day-stay centers that cover the entire municipal territory.

There are currently 91 places arranged with the regional government.The three day-stay centers have been closed since the start of the crisis caused by the expansion of Covid-19.
The closure decision was adopted to avoid the risk of contagion among users and to protect a vulnerable group, such as the elderly.However, the team of professionals at the centers has maintained permanent contact with older people and their families.

Personal hygiene, food, health and geriatric care, functional rehabilitation, social integration, psychological support and training of personal skills are some of the aspects that users of these centers work with professionals.For the main caregiver of dependent people, the work that is offered from these centers has a very important preventive, rehabilitative and supportive care component because it discharges them from their task for a few hours, which contributes to preventing personal and family conflicts.
