Utrecht is anticipating an aging population more homes and forms

Housing types for the elderly include more service flats, care apartments, sheltered housing, life-resistant homes, kangaroo homes or group housing. For people who need very intensive care, facilities such as the nursing home remain necessary. In addition to additional homes, the action plan also aims to create a senior-friendly environment. The basic principle is, for example, that facilities such as supermarkets, neighborhood centers and health centers are within 500 meters.
