A long-term residential care home for the elderly has been inaugurated in Tarxien.
Dar L-Annuzjata will have 230 beds spread over seven storeys.
Inaugurating the home on Friday, Minister for the Elderly Michael Farrugia said €13 million had been invested in the home by the private sector. There were currently 45 employees but a total of 100 new jobs are expected to be created.
An undisclosed number of beds at the facility will be reserved for residents in state-funded care.
The home has been designed to be dementia-friendly and includes therapy facilities. It features a roof garden on its top floor and four floors of underground parking for staff and visitors.
Some 4,400 people who live in 37 homes for the elderly, and frontliners at these residences, have started being vaccinated against COVID-19.
The government said in a statement on Friday that the first residents to be inoculated against the virus are those aged over 85. Eventually, apart from the residents, some 2,000 staff members at homes run by the government, Church and private entities, will also be vaccinated.
The vaccination programme, which started being rolled out at the Mellieħa home for the elderly on Friday, should ensure that all residents at homes for the elderly across Malta receive the first dose by the end of March.
