Body in Santa Catalina: Why the death went unnoticed for weeks

Answer

What role do social services play in Mallorca when an older person lives alone?

Social services can help identify vulnerable people, arrange support, and respond when a resident may be isolated or unable to manage daily life. In Mallorca, limited capacity can make it harder to follow up quickly, especially when several agencies need to coordinate. Regular contact from family, neighbours, or care providers often remains essential.
