Rioja Salud and Santa Teresa Jornet formalize their psychosocial care agreement

The Official Gazette of La Rioja publishes this Wednesday, November 11, 2026, the summary of the collaboration agreement between the Rioja Salud Foundation and the Santa Teresa Jornet Residence, affiliated with the R. H. Congregation of the Helpless. The agreement, signed on August 12, 2026, establishes the bases for developing a psychosocial care model aimed at people with advanced illnesses and their families. The publication is ordered by resolution of the Technical General Secretariat of the Department of Finance, Public Governance, Digital Society and Government Spokesperson.

The dissemination of the summary is supported by Article 10 of Decree 13/2017, of April 12, which regulates the Electronic Registry of Agreements of the Autonomous Community of La Rioja. The agreement is registered under number 2026/0704, and its full text is available in the agreement search engine of the transparency portal of the Riojan Government. The resolution ordering the publication, Resolution 1590/2026, of October 12, is signed in Logroño by Begoña Sáinz Martínez, head of the Government Secretariat and Parliamentary Relations Service.

A common care model for advanced illness

The purpose of the agreement is to establish the bases for collaboration between the residence and the Rioja Salud Foundation (FRS) with a specific goal: to develop a psychosocial care model aligned with the optimization objectives defined in the Program for the comprehensive care of people with advanced illnesses of the la Caixa Foundation.

This framework seeks to offer various groups a set of resources and instruments that facilitate their daily work in the field of care for people with advanced illnesses and their families. Therefore, it is not a singular financial contribution, but rather the operational integration of the residence into a broader program shared by several entities.

Who signs the agreement

The agreement is signed by two parties, represented by:

• Rioja Salud Foundation: Juan Carlos Oliva Pérez, managing director.
• Santa Teresa Jornet Residence (R. H. Congregation of the Helpless): Ana María Santamaría Abajo, director.

The signing date appearing in the published summary is August 12, 2026, three months before its appearance in the gazette.

Annual validity and effects from January

The text establishes a validity period of one year, between January 1, 2026, and December 31, 2026. The agreement was signed in August, meaning its temporal scope of application begins before the actual signature: the collaboration is retroactive to the start of the fiscal year and closes at the end of the calendar year.

The publication in the BOR occurs after that interval is already underway, a common pattern in agreements processed through the regional Electronic Registry. The official summary contains the identifying data of the agreement, but refers to the full text hosted in the agreements search engine to consult the details of obligations and commitments.

Background: a network of agreements with residences

This agreement is added to others of similar characteristics published in recent weeks in the same bulletin, all of them with the Fundación Rioja Salud as a common party and with residences in the community as the counterpart:

• Residencia Gerontoiregua S.L.U., agreement signed on August 6, 2026, and registered under number 2026/0642.
• Residencia Caser Montesoria (Caser Residencial SAU), agreement signed on August 7, 2026, and registered under number 2026/0643.
• Fundación ‘La Caixa’, collaboration agreement signed on June 8, 2026, and registered under number 2026/0645, with financial obligations of 283,450 euros.

All three were published in the Boletín Oficial de La Rioja no. 199, of October 15, 2026, and share the same reference program. The incorporation of the Residencia Santa Teresa Jornet thus expands the number of socio-sanitary centers integrated into this psychosocial care scheme.

Why it matters

The agreement directly affects the socio-sanitary staff of the residence and the families of residents with advanced illness, who now have a formal framework of resources and shared methodology with the other participating entities. For the reader interested in public management, the document allows one to track how the Fundación Rioja Salud articulates its network of collaborations with residential centers and how each agreement is publicized through the regional registry of agreements.
