Prague 5 was rebuilt in the historical monument into a house for the elderly.It should open in the autumn

Housing is a big problem throughout Prague, often talks about the lack of apartments for young families.But this is not the only problem, a desperate shortage is also apartments for the elderly that would be adapted to their specific needs.There is a fundamental shortage of these apartments in Prague 5, which has been selling urban flats in recent decades rather than gaining any.

“Prague 5 is located on the tail between the Prague districts in terms of the number of senior apartments.So far the city has been selling the apartments rather than building.For example.The Raudnitz House is the first of three housing complexes for the elderly, which we plan to realize in this parliamentary term, ”said Štěpán Rattay (Pirates) councilors (Pirates).In addition to the Raudnitz House, the city district is about to rebuild the former medical center in Hlubočepy and also in Motol near the postal.

In Šolínova Street there will be a home for the elderly 21.century.Will support intergenerational interconnection

Small -bearded flats will be formed under the supervision of conservationists

Raudnitz's house is a cultural monument and fortunately its reconstruction was really very sensitive.“Basically we have only renewed this monument and improved its condition.The conservationists supervise the entire reconstruction and carefully guard the individual steps, ”said Deputy Mayor Tomáš Homola (STAN).

Therefore, there will be 24 apartments for seniors in size 2+1a 1+1.Part of the apartments will be wheelchair accessible and besides seniors will be designed for handicapped persons.In the Raudnitz House, which stands in a protected landscape area, there will also be a special background for the nursing service for its inhabitants and will not miss the doctor's office, offer massages, manicure or pedicure.

Planning also thought of sustainability and ecology, so there were two storage tanks that can hold up to 70 m3 of rainwater from the roofs of the building and adjacent yards.“It will be used to flush the toilet and watering.We have not used rainwater in any such facility yet, "says Deputy Mayor Tomáš Homola.This will also save the cost of operating.

Will it ever be?A company that is to build an ice sports area in Prague 11 is left by key people

Intergenerational interconnection

However, the Raudnitz House area should not be a closed community;.“We assume and welcome the participation of local associations, developing neighborhood relations and intergenerational meetings.There will be common halls with tea kitchen for social events, a winter garden with a seating area, the South Court will offer an outdoor sitting in a courtyard with elevated beds for growing ornamental and commercial plants, ”concluded Petr Lachnit (YES) councilor of Prague 5.
