That is why Truliving Vallecas has obtained the Brain-Protected Space certification,awarded by Fundación Freno al Ictus, becoming the first flexible accommodation space in Spain to receive this recognition. first flexible accommodation space in Spain in obtaining this recognition.

What does it mean to be a Brain-Protected Space?

The Brain-Protected Space certification recognises organisations whose teams have received specific training to identify  the main symptoms of a stroke and understand how to respond quickly in the event of a possible emergency..

At Truliving Vallecas, the team has completed this training to recognise the main warning signs and understand the steps required to activate the appropriate assistance protocol correctly.

Because when it comes to stroke, time is especially important. Recognising the symptoms and seeking help as quickly as possible can make a significant difference.

When it comes to stroke, every minute counts

A stroke occurs when the blood flow to the brain is suddenly disrupted, either because a blood vessel becomes blocked or because it ruptures. It is a medical emergency in which acting quickly is essential.

The main warning signs include sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arm or leg, particularly on one side of the body; difficulty speaking or understanding speech; changes in vision; problems with balance or coordination; or the sudden onset of a severe headache.

If any of these symptoms appear, it is important to seek medical assistance immediately by calling 112, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.

From that point, emergency services assess the situation and, when appropriate, activate the Stroke Code, a healthcare coordination protocol designed to speed up treatment and transfer to the appropriate hospital.

Recognising the warning signs and acting quickly is therefore the first step towards ensuring medical assistance is activated as soon as possible.

A team prepared to respond

The Truliving Vallecas team is in daily contact with the people staying in the building.

That is why having specific training to respond to certain emergency situations adds another dimension to the experience TrulivingIn addition to providing spaces and services that make everyday life easier, it also means being better prepared to recognise a possible emergency and know how to respond.The certification recognises precisely this commitment and brings the Brain-Protected Space initiative into a new setting: flexible accommodation.

Wellbeing also means feeling cared for

At Truliving, we understand wellbeing in a broad sense.

It is about having spaces where you can rest, work, stay active or unwind, but also about creating an environment where people can feel supported and safe throughout their stay.

Achieving the Brain-Protected Space certification reinforces this vision and supports our ongoing commitment to improving the experience of everyone who chooses Truliving as their place to stay in Madrid.

During an event held at Truliving Vallecas, Freno al Ictus Foundation officially presented the certification seal recognising the property as a Brain-Protected Space.
