This certification considers that the Residential Service and Day Center of Fundación Personas in Cuéllar, complies with all the requirements of the UNE 158101 standard in all aspects at a personal, health and psychosocial level for people with disabilities.
Fundación Personas was the first social entity in Castilla y León to obtain UNE 158101 certification for “Ribera del Carrión”, one of its residential centers in Palencia.
Among the improvement actions planned by Fundación Personas is the certification of specific services, and in the case of the “Mar de Pinares” Complex in Cuéllar, obtaining this seal is the guarantee of a service provided in accordance with internationally recognized standards.
The UNE 158101 Standard is focused on certifying services aimed at promoting personal autonomy within the management of residential and day care centers.
Based on the current quality management system, ISO 9001, this standard brings added value toComplejo Mar de Pinares, by implementing more demanding and specific requirements for the Residential and Day Care services.
Fundación Personas continues working in the rest of the centers to achieve this seal and proof of this is that this new certificate is added to the one obtained a few months ago, when the new residential center Ribera del Carrión, of Fundación Personas Palencia, also obtained this accreditation, becoming the first non-profit social entity in Castilla y León to achieve it.
This recognition demonstrates, once again, the commitment that Fundación Personas maintains with the optimized management of its resources and demonstrates the ability to regularly provide services that meet the needs of care and autonomy of people with intellectual disabilities throughout their life cycle.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities and their families by providing comprehensive services, in the environment and covering all stages of the life cycle.
