Age limit for pre-mantle care home lowered

Since October 2022, residents of the municipality of Aalten aged 70 and older have been allowed to place a pre-mantle care home next to their own home or in part of the main home itself. This was previously called a lifetime/care home. In practice, the municipality regularly receives requests to place a pre-mantle care home from residents who are not yet 70 years old. The college has therefore decided to lower the age limit to the state pension age.

Pre-care home

The pre-mantle care home is the precursor to the informal care home. An informal care home requires intensive care. With a pre-care home, this is not required. This provides a great solution for many residents to live near each other and care for each other when needed.

Terms

A temporary environmental permit is required to install a pre-mantle care home. If issued, it is valid for a period of up to 10 years. It may be that the pre-mantle care home turns into an unlicensed informal care home. If the pre-mantle care home is needed for longer than 10 years, a new permit must be applied for.
