Cospicua Home

Cospicua Home is a one hundred and thirty bed residential complex for the elderly. It is the first one of its sort for Malta, because the furnishings, commodities and interiors resemble those of hotels rather than those of homes for the elderly. This residential home was built by the Maltese Central Government and subcontracted to CareMalta for the management and running of the operations.

The Cospicua Home was built beside and 18th century orphanage. The spectacular features of this 18th century building were all restored and the new section was built with the concept of the fusion of the two buildings.

"Conservatorio San Giuseppe", as this building was known, was erected in the late 18th century by bishop Vincenzo Labini and a priest with the name of Salvatore Lanzon, and it was used as an orphanage for girls. A small chapel dedicated to St. Joseph used to make part of this conservatory. During the construction of the residential complex this chapel was restored and now it is part of the complex and is being used by the residents.

This complex comprises twenty-eight single rooms, forty - eight double sharing rooms and two triple bedded rooms, having a total capacity of one hundred and thirty. All rooms are fully air conditioned, with en suite bathrooms and kitchenette. Each room has the facility of a TV socket. All amenities are purposely designed for the elderly. The residents have the facility of a remote controlled nurse call system, with pull chords in the showers.

The professionalism and expertise of CareMalta, together with the exceptional environment of the Cospicua Home, the residents can enjoy an independent and private lifestyle, very similar to the one they enjoyed in their own homes. The home was officially inaugurated on the 18th December 1999.
