What is Elderly Care?
Our Elderly Care homes consist of three buildings with ten apartments.
Our nurses provide guidance and help to the seniors who cannot fully manage their day-to-day routines alone at home anymore.
Each client has their own apartment, including a bathroom where they live semi-independent.

At least 5 of the 9 criteria need to be applicable:

Follow up
Once all documents are received, the client’s name will be placed on the waiting list.
We will then conduct a home visit, where the needs are assessed.
An AVBZ-care request is then filled in and submitted for approval.
Once approved and when a space becomes available for the client, the family will be called and an admission date is planned.
