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 install a pre-mantelzorgwoning (pre-care home) next to their own home or in part of their main home. This was previously referred to as a levensloop-/zorgwoning (lifecycle/care home). In practice, the municipality regularly receives requests to install a pre-informal care home from residents who are not yet 70 years of age. The municipal executive has therefore decided to lower the age limit to the state pension age.

Pre-care home

The pre-informal care home is the precursor to the informal care home. An informal care home must provide intensive Health. This is not a requirement for a pre-informal care home. For many residents, this offers an attractive solution for living close to each other and caring for each other when necessary.

Requirements

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.
