Housing association Wonen Zuid will have to adapt some 1,400 homes in the near future. That is ten percent of the total supply of rental properties.
The adjustments are necessary to meet the care needs of the aging tenants.
Amendment
Director Marc Schroten made these statements on Monday in the L1 program L1mburg Central. This concerns, for example, making the home rollator or wheelchair-chair-friendly. According to him, it will be a challenge to meet that demand. Schroten: “Together with municipalities and care parties, we will do everything we can to get this done.”
repurposing
A care complex was recently opened in Heel in the former Catualiumhof town hall. But not every empty building is suitable for this form of repurposing.
Think it over
Schroten also calls on people to think in good time about how and where you want to spend your old age. So before there is an acute demand for care. “Otherwise, someone may have to be removed from their own environment or couples may be separated,” he says. “You don’t want that. That’s why you should orientate yourself on the possibilities in good time.”
