Grupo 5 adds two further privately operated facilities to its network

Located on Miguel Fleta Street, in Madrid’s San Blas district, CIAN Madrid is a specialised neurological rehabilitation facility organised into four dedicated units, depending on users’ needs (neurorehabilitation for acquired brain injury, neurodegenerative diseases, permanent impairments, etc.). The centre will serve individuals over the age of 18 with acquired brain injury or neurological conditions, such as stroke, brain tumours, neurodegenerative diseases, traumatic brain injuries, anoxia or hypoxia, and other brain injuries.

The objective of the centre’s transdisciplinary team, made up of 59 professionals, is to rehabilitate individuals and support their families throughout the recovery process, regardless of the origin of the injury or its evolution.

The new CIAN Madrid has 70 places, distributed across 54 single and double rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. The complex includes green areas designed to encourage social interaction and sensory stimulation for users, as well as an on-site kitchen offering adapted menus. In addition, it incorporates a ‘Housing Programme’, consisting of an apartment that simulates a real home environment where users can train daily living skills.

Fitting out and equipping the centre required an investment of €1.27 million by Grupo 5. In addition to conventional rehabilitation, Grupo 5’s CIAN equipment is at the cutting edge of neurorehabilitation technology. Highlights include movement and balance analysis systems; musculoskeletal simulations; cognitive rehabilitation; virtual reality; and state-of-the-art devices such as C‑Mill VR and AlexRS for upper-limb rehabilitation; Fesia Walk, Fesia Grasp, VitalStim, robotics applied to swallowing and dysphagia rehabilitation, as well as Oculus Quest. The centre will also feature the Atalante X exoskeleton, currently available only at the Toledo Paraplegics Unit, according to the group.

The new CIAN has brought together a specialist team in physical medicine and rehabilitation, neuropsychology, nursing, speech therapy, occupational therapy and physiotherapy to develop individualised treatment plans tailored to each person’s needs. The aim is to work on a personalised basis and promote the functional skills required for individuals to achieve the greatest possible autonomy in daily life, across all areas and at each specific stage of their recovery, the group explains.

The Madrid centre joins Grupo 5’s neurorehabilitation network, which already includes four other CIAN inpatient centres (totalling 261 places, including the new Madrid facility): Alcalá de Henares (Madrid) with 64 places; Imárcoain (Navarre) — a hospital with 39 beds and a day-care centre with 25 places; Zaragoza (39 places); and Seville (49 inpatient beds and 30 day-care places). In addition, in March 2025 the group opened CIAN Alcalá, a new outpatient neurorehabilitation centre in Alcalá de Henares.

New residence in Valencia for people with severe mental disorders

Coinciding with the opening of the Madrid centre, Grupo 5 has also launched Grupo 5 Alboraya, a new open and rehabilitative residential care facility for people over 18 with severe mental disorders. The centre offers 40 places, organised into three living units, and provides comprehensive care aimed at recovery, rehabilitation, increased personal autonomy and community integration.

Its structure of small, independent units fosters a homely and close environment, encouraging active participation by residents in household tasks and in the daily life of the centre. Care is based on the person-centred model, as Grupo 5 emphasises that “it is essential to involve individuals in all treatment decisions”. Service users actively participate in defining their goals, with families and the social and community environment also playing a key role in the process.

Services and programmes at Grupo 5 Alboraya include healthcare, social and psychological support; psychoeducation interventions focusing on symptom management, stress control, relapse prevention and family intervention; occupational therapy aimed at developing healthy habits, daily routines and community skills; as well as psychosocial rehabilitation programmes, including social skills training and cognitive rehabilitation.

The new Grupo 5 Alboraya centre involved an investment of €3.55 million and has created 30 new jobs. With this opening, Grupo 5 seeks to strengthen its commitment to a care model based on evidence, ethical care practices and active participation, contributing to the real recovery and community integration of people with mental health conditions.

The two new facilities further strengthen Grupo 5’s network of social care resources, which now includes more than 150 facilities covering elderly care, mental health, neurorehabilitation and services for other groups such as people with disabilities, social emergencies, homelessness, child protection and social education. The company, employing over 3,200 professionals, provides daily care to more than 4,400 people across 14 autonomous regions in Spain.

Grupo 5 is one of the three Spanish subsidiaries of Clariane Spain, which also includes Seniors Residencias (specialised in elderly care management) and ITA Salud Mental (specialised in mental health and eating disorder treatments). A fourth brand, Iterias, was added in October, focusing on the development of psychological care centres, with its first facility opening in Barcelona.

Across all its divisions — comprising more than 230 facilities in 16 regions — Clariane Spain employs 7,000 people and closed 2024 (latest available data) with revenues of approximately €249 million.
