Prague 5: Raudnitz House in Hlubočepy will welcome the first tenants from the seniors in March
“Since childhood, we have been surrounded, motivated and influenced by the environment in which we live. In adulthood, we create conditions for our lifestyle and design. With this imprint, which we are equipped with from our youth, we like to enrich our partner or family life and thus sell our housing and cohabitation, ”adds Lachnit.
Only in the post-productive age do we often become aware of and appreciate the oasis of peace and security, the foreign exchange of housing, of course, if we are lucky and live well. Thus, the housing cycle also has its order and the time in it is relatively relentless. Therefore, the phenomenon of housing becomes a key need, especially at the age when the first health problems are heard, there is a risk of self-sufficiency or a feeling of loneliness, loss of life partner, family deficit, and the solution of apartment accessibility also plays an important role. At that time, we are looking for a sense of security, support and the need for social inclusion, and another need for a good, supportive neighborhood.

There are 34 special-purpose flats in the nursing home, Zubatý 330/10. There are ten special-purpose flats in the Štefánikova 259/51 apartment building, there are two special-purpose flats in the Štefánikova 249/28 apartment building. There is one special-purpose apartment in the Štefánikova 249/30 apartment building. All these flats are owned by the City District of Prague 5 and CSOP, in which it provides tenants with care services.
Special purpose flats do not replace hospital facilities or residential social services (eg a home for the elderly or a home with a special regime). On the contrary, to provide independent living with the support and use of care services, so that seniors can stay in their natural home environment for as long as possible, which positively functions as their quality of life. Seniors, if their health and personal situation allows it, prefer independent living with the use of other support services to residential facilities of a permanent nature.
In the apartments of special purpose, which are small, there is a kitchen with accessories, in the hallway there are built-in wardrobes and a specially adapted shower. The great advantage of this form of housing is that special purpose apartments are set up by the tenants with their own furniture and other objects. The lease agreement for special purpose apartments is not transferable to another person or persons, with the case of situations that comply with the provisions of the Civil Code.
Each tenant uses the apartment on the basis of a rental relationship under the conditions defined in the lease agreement. If the applicant owns pets, a dog or a cat, etc., he can take them with him, which is very important for such a person. During the day, those residents of special-purpose flats who are also clients of the care service can use the contracted care services. For client services, if necessary, nurses help, who help them solve various issues and solve difficult situations.
