“The residential care center in Bredene, which had to be closed for 4 months due to all kinds of abuses, may not remain open a day longer,” says Flemish Minister of Welfare Gennez. The residents are people over 65, but also people who need psychological help, have an addiction or are homeless.
Gennez wants the local government to find a new home for them. She wants to release a large sum of money in the future to create additional places in healthcare. But it is not clear how long.
