In a hospice, residents are cared for in their final phase. The number of recordings has doubled in recent years, says Mirjam Bijlenga, director of the foundation. This is due to the aging population, Bijlenga explains. In addition, there are fewer people available in home care and there is a growing shortage of informal caregivers. The government subsidy, the most important source of income for the foundation, is not growing along with the increasing demand, says Bijlenga. Extra money is needed for the new building, which is why the hospice is raising money through their site the new construction to make it come true.
