The Uribarren Abaroa Foundation is a long-established non-profit institution that dates back to 1869, promoted by Jose Javier de Uribarren and Pascual de Abaroa.
From its origins, this Foundation has dedicated itself to attend disadvantaged and / or sick people (Hospital Abaroa) and children (Hospice Uribarren de San José). Constant evolution of the society in which we live has made the Foundation adapt to the changes that people require. This is why, in 1978, Uribarren Abaroa became a Residence, focusing on the care of elderly people who are at risk of dependency and especially on the sector of dependent elderly people. In 2007 the Foundation launched a Day Centre.
Continuing with the commitment to social integration of our users and the common good of the people from Leketio town itself, in 2017, a private collection of exotic birds (Mini Zoo) and a botanical garden were added to our facilities. Both spaces have a character both educational and informative especially focused on school groups.
