Thanks to the compassionate and creative team at this Spanish care facility, a father and daughter are reconnected and thriving.

Luis is 78 years old and suffers from dementia. He dearly loves his daughter Estefania ("Fani"), 38, who has Down syndrome. Their lack of independence has led them to enter a facility that provides care for people in their situation -- the Casaverde Villa de Catal center in Alicante, Spain. While they could see each other every day, the moment of separation was traumatic, because Luis didn’t understand. The center's ingenious solution took away their anguish.
