Self-determined living in a community - in an assisted senior citizens' flat share
Many older people want to live independently, even with increasing support needs - preferably in a familiar, manageable environment. An assisted senior living community is therefore a contemporary form of living. An assisted senior living community offers flatmates the opportunity to live in a community while retaining their own private space - a room or a flat.
A number of older people live together in an assisted senior living community and organise their everyday lives together. Everyone benefits from mutual support. Everyone has their own personal retreat with their own room or flat. Professional help is provided by an outpatient care service, which takes on individually tailored care and support services - exactly as much as is needed or desired.
The family atmosphere promotes joie de vivre, social contact and security in everyday life. Relatives can remain actively involved and help to organise life together. The result is a form of living that is somewhere between a person's own home and inpatient care: communal, flexible and geared towards self-determination.
