The Regional Government of Madeira authorized the Madeira Institute of Social Security (ISSM, IP-RAM) to assume financial commitments to support the management of the Santa Teresinha Establishment. The authorization is contained in Ordinance No. 319/2026, signed by the Regional Secretariat for Finance and the Regional Secretariat for Inclusion, Work and Youth.
The objective is to sign a Cooperation Agreement (typical agreement) with a social and solidarity sector entity that will be selected through an application procedure to manage and ensure the operation of the social facility. The establishment includes a High-Dependency Residential Structure for the Elderly (ERPI), a Day Center, and a Social Center.

The ERPI value can be increased by 271.02 €/month/user, and the Day Center value, when operating in a coupled manner, can be reduced by 40%, setting it at 214.60 €/month/user.
The expenditure for 2026 is already budgeted in the ISSM, IP-RAM budget.
