The complex was designed and rebuilt by OSAR Architects (www.osar.be ) between 2006 and 2009 based on small-scale and normalized living, implementing healthcare automatization. Our concept combines safe and comfortable housing facilities with assisted living facilities and state of the art care.
We currently accommodate 107 residents. Our two ‘day-care centers’ welcome about 45 visitors a day. They are partners in the home care, supporting care during the day, in continuity with living at home. Elderly people who only needs services are welcome in our Local Service Center whenever they want to.
