The APCM transport service is organized to meet the travel needs of users from the Center for Activities and Empowerment for Inclusion (CACI) and the Residential Home within the municipality of Funchal. The main goals of this service are to enable users to attend the activities offered by APCM. This transport is intended for clients who do not have their own means of travel to the institution. It is also used for APCM’s internal services, such as scheduled outings and medical appointments.

Intended for citizens with cerebral palsy or similar neurological conditions, aged 18 or over, who are unable to live with their families due to various circumstances, the Residential Home offers accommodation on a permanent and/or temporary basis.

Inspired by a family-like environment, the APCM Residential Home aims to promote autonomy and well-being among its 49 permanent residents. In addition, it provides one place for temporary accommodation, which is essential in cases of illness or when caregivers need rest. The facility operates continuously, 24 hours a day, throughout the entire year.

The Residential Structure prioritizes the admission of individuals from dysfunctional family backgrounds, those with social and/or economic difficulties, whose caregivers or close family members are aging, those with high levels of dependency, or those who have been abandoned or lack family support.

Inspirado num ambiente familiar, o Lar APCM procura fomentar a autonomia e o bem-estar dos seus 49 utentes permanentes. Adicionalmente, disponibiliza uma vaga para acolhimento temporário, crucial em casos de doença ou necessidade de descanso dos cuidadores. A estrutura opera continuamente, 24 horas por dia, ao longo de todo o ano. A Estrutura Residencial prioriza o acolhimento de indivíduos em contextos familiares disfuncionais, com carências sociais e/ou económicas, cujos cuidadores ou familiares diretos estejam envelhecendo, que apresentem elevada dependência ou que tenham sido abandonados ou estejam sem apoio familiar.
