Geostroy started the construction and assembly works on a major project aimed at improving long-term care services for the elderly in the town of Etropole: the Renovation and Extension of the Elderly Care Home. The project includes a general overhaul of the existing building and the construction of a new wing, both equipped with high energy-efficiency systems, modern furnishings and amenities, as well as attractive landscaping of the surrounding area.

When completed, the renovated home will provide higher-quality residential care for elderly people.

The construction project officially commenced with a groundbreaking ceremony attended by M.Eng. Vladimir Aleksandrov, Mayor of Etropole Municipality; Deputy Mayors Ivaylo Georgiev and Katya Simeonova; Ms. Stanimira Vasova, Secretary of Etropole Municipality; M.Eng. Tsvetoslav Petkov, Executive Director of Geostroy; Ms. Kamelia Mihailova, Director of the Elderly Care Home; employees of the municipal administration; the project designers and supervisors; and residents of the care home.

‘It is a great pleasure for me to launch another project in Etropole Municipality. It will significantly improve the conditions at the Elderly Care Home, ensuring that all residents enjoy greater comfort, private rooms, and better services. I wish the builders every success,’ said Mayor M.Eng. Vladimir Aleksandrov.

‘A society is judged by how it cares for its elderly people. With the implementation of this project, we will help create a more comfortable and modern living environment. Geostroy’s team is fully committed to completing the assigned works with high quality and on schedule. Once completed, the care home will offer its residents all the amenities they rightfully deserve. I sincerely hope that the care for the elderly in our society meets the standard they deserve,’ said M.Eng. Tsvetoslav Petkov, Executive Director of Geostroy.

According to the Director of the Home, the groundbreaking ceremony symbolizes not only the start of construction, but also a renewed commitment to caring for the elderly. ‘Today is a special day for all of us, as it marks the beginning of a very important project. The building will be modernized and we will be able to provide higher-quality social services,’ said Ms. Kamelia Mihailova. She expressed her heartfelt gratitude to M.Eng. Aleksandrov and his team.
