quality care to elderly people and their families.

                                                   We know that elderly and dependent people require
                                                   flexible, innovative services, adaptable to a wide variety
                                                   of situations, which is why the Amma Group offers
                                                   customised services through a network that covers
                                                   everything from domiciliary care and remote assistance
                                                   to more specialised resources, such as residential
                                                   homes. We also provide intermediate solutions such as
                                                   sheltered apartments and day centres. This allows us to

The Amma Model

The Amma Group works according to its own welfare-health model, which has been designed by
renowned experts in geriatrics, gerontology and care for dependent persons.

                                  This care model, common in all its centres, is one of the Amma
                                  Group's greatest competitive advantages with respect to the rest of
                                  the sector, and has made the Amma brand a recognised guarantee of
                                  quality care, excellent management and attention, optimum user
                                  satisfaction and commitment to innovation and research, for unique,
                                  customised services.

                                  Since it was formed, all the work done by the Amma Group is inspired by
                                  three ethical principles based on human values:

                                     Respect for individual privacy and rights.
                                     Consideration for individual dignity, independence and freedom of
                                      choice.
                                     Independence in all areas and encouragement to fully achieve this.

People are treated with the greatest of care and respect for their uniqueness. This philosophy is
evident in way that our care services are conceived, the architectural design of our centres and the way
they operate.

                                                                                                           5

History of Amma

Amma was founded in 1997 at the initiative of Caja Navarra, in response to the need for residential places
for elderly and dependent people detected in the 2nd Gerontological Plan for Navarre.

                                                  After eight years of activity and continuous growth, both in
                                                  Navarre and beyond its borders, Amma took a decisive step
                                                  in 2005 and merged with Gerogestión, another of the
                                                  sector's big operators, with which it shared a similar care
                                                  model. They clearly complemented each other in terms of
                                                  the geographical distribution of their centres.

The new Grupo Amma became one of Spain's leading companies specialising in care to dependent and
elderly people, and at the same time started a new expansion process, receiving finance in 2006 from 21
banks and savings banks, to establish its intention to lead in the sector.

                                                                                                             6

Amma Centres
All Grupo Amma centres are designed with comfortable rooms and welcoming atmospheres where
elderly people and their families can feel at ease, as well as offering top quality customised care.

                                 All the residential homes have at least 50% single rooms, each with their
                                  own adapted geriatric bathroom, with a minimum of 50 m² overall built area
                                  per resident. Rooms have telephones, television point, alarm buttons and
                                  adapted furnishings, and can be decorated to the user’s taste.

                                 Centres have the most modern infrastructures and equipment, and
                                  spacious garden zones and access control.

                                 We combine catering and clinical care, adapted to our users' changing
                                  needs.

                                 To make our residents' daily lives easier, Amma invests in new buildings,
                                  although in exceptional circumstances it may adapt existing spaces to previously
                                  established quality indicators.

                                 Centres are no more than three floors high and are divided into coexistence
                                  units occupied by people with a similar state of health. In practice, these units
                                  function independently like small residential homes that can be monitored
                                  individually by professionals. All the centres have a specific unit for patients
                                  suffering from Alzheimer's disease and severe dementia.

                                 Amma centres provide extensive activity programmes and are also open
                                  to the community, meaning their services and facilities can be used by non-
                                  residents during the day.

                                                                                                                  23

Amma Professionals

The technical and personal skills of the workforce are what
guarantees the success of a care centre. Grupo Amma takes
particular care to select professionals specialising in the care of
elderly and dependent people, providing them with on-going training
and ways of reconciling their work and their family lives. Amma does
this, because we know that the best way to ensure our clients are
satisfied is by having a satisfied, motivated workforce.

The staff at all Amma centres are trained by experts from varying
fields to provide residents and their families with the most
comprehensive service possible: medicine, nursing, psychology,
physiotherapy, occupational therapy, social work, social-cultural
entertainment, among others.

Amma centres have an average 80 members of staff, which is a one
of the highest personnel/resident ratios in the sector, which
explains the excellent care we provide.

The Amma Group also gives regular on-going training to enable
our employees to update their knowledge and qualifications.

                                                                  26
Customised care

As soon as a person requests services from Amma, the care team studies her/his state of health and
establishes an Personal Care Plan , which is subject to regular review and includes treatment, diet,
physical rehabilitation, psychological care, cognitive stimulation and leisure activities. This plan is prepared
using the Integral Geriatric Assessment RAI-NH tool, which encourages teamwork and raises
standards of care.

                                                                         Amma also works closely with
                                                                         families, because we know that they
                                                                         are an essential part of the care
                                                                         process. That is why we stay in
                                                                         regular contact with them, keeping
                                                                         them informed about the condition
                                                                         and evolution of their family member
                                                                         and the therapeutic goals set by the
                                                                         team at the centre.

We also provide specific training to carer families and the centres have generous visiting hours to
allow families to spend time with residents and share their lives at the centre. Residential homes also have
private rooms for family celebrations and children's areas where elderly people can have fun with
their grandchildren. The Amma Group was a pioneer in these aspects, which have since been incorporated
by other sector companies.

                                                                                                               27
Striving for quality

Quality and highly specialised skills are among the characteristics that make Grupo Amma
stand out in this sector.

Our investment in quality, its own specific social-healthcare model and commitment to on-going innovation
have enabled Amma to gain our clients' trust and recognition.

Amma gives the utmost importance to understanding its users' and their families' opinions of its
care services, for which we provide tools that encourage them to participate:

   – We conduct regular satisfaction surveys and hold scheduled meetings with family members and users with a
     view to improving the quality of care.
   – Our pioneering User Care Service has been operating since 2005.

The Amma Group has also gained the trust of government authorities, which is evident from the high
percentage of places subsidised by the Autonomous Regions where it operates.

                                                                                                                28
Striving for quality

                                  The Amma Group applies the European Foundation for Quality
                                  Management (EFQM) standard and ISO, and has developed quality
                                  indicators for all its centres and services.

                                  It is precisely the quality of its services and the care given to residents, as
                                  well as the development of specific models in areas such as management
                                  procedures, therapies and improvement groups, that made one of Amma's
                                  centres (Amma Mutilva, in Navarre) Spain's first gerontology
                                  residential home to achieve ISO certification.

The Amma Group was also the first Spanish company in the gerontology sector to be awarded
the European Bronze Seal of Excellence, a distinction that is granted after an independent audit has
been carried out showing that the level of satisfaction of clients is excellent, and the existence of activities
and plans for on-going improvements. Amma also received the National Prize for Excellence in
Residential Management awarded by the Júbilo Group in 2009.

Amma's pivotal role in quality has led it to sponsor Fundación Edad&Vida, the Navarre Quality
Foundation and Castile and Leon quality foundation (EXCYL) and its membership of the Spanish
Quality Association and Excellence in Management Club, as well as being an active collaborator with
the Geriatric and Gerontology Society.

                                                                                                                   29
Research

                          Another aspect in which the Amma Group is outstanding is its
                          investment in innovation and research.
                                                             research. This forms part of its care
                          model, and is allowing it to harness the latest scientific and therapeutic
                                                                                         therapeutic
                          advances to improve elderly and dependent people's quality of life,
                                                                                            life, in
                          collaboration with universities, hospitals and research centres.

                          The main lines of research developed by Amma focus on three areas:

Animal therapy            •   Cerebral ageing.
                          •   Alzheimer's disease
                          •   Affective disorders.

                          This research has led us to set up Memory Units in all Amma centres,
                          and innovative therapies have been developed, such as specific
                          psychomotor programmes, rehabilitation units, therapy assisted with
                          animals, intergenerational encounters and cognitive stimulation
                          exercises, that contribute to significant improvements in the mental
Memory units              capacity, sociability and well-being of elderly people.

                          Since the very beginning, Amma has also been one the main
                          collaborators to the QPEA Forum on Research and Education on
                          Quality of Life of elderly persons. Members of this include staff from
                          the company, workers from other centres and the Department of
                          Psychiatry and Medical Psychology from the Clínica Universitaria de
                          Navarre.

Amma Network
Amma Group's experience in caring for elderly and dependent people has also led it to set up an
innovative nationwide services network to offer advice and quality services to other residential
centres, government authorities and sector workers.

                               The Amma Network offers the following services:

development of Masters Degrees and training courses for future workers.

                                                                                                                31
