📋 Tender Overview
Tuesday the ground-breaking ceremony took place for a very special residential project as living spaces from the area of care and from the area of equal opportunities are being created here. In addition to the retirement home in Ferlach 19 rental apartments are being built that give older people the option of assisted living with a so-called everyday manager. In addition a residential complex for people with disabilities is being created This will include eight full-time supervised living spaces a training apartment and a therapy room. For around 3.2 million euros and funded by the Carinthian housing subsidy the new building is being built by the non-profit building association Progress.Assisted living will become increasingly important in the coming years More and more elderly people are living alone but not only need social contacts but also support here and there. Often it is enough that they can be certain that they can turn to someone who is there immediately - that gives them security and makes them worry-free said health officer Beate Prettner with conviction. The living network for people with disabilities is also very important to her In Carinthia we are very quickly expanding the range of living spaces for clients with equal opportunities - this is right at the top of our agenda.Charitable housing projects like this one which enables older people to live an independent self-determined life as well as providing the necessary support in various forms are particularly important to us emphasized housing consultant LHStv.in Gaby Schaunig. After all non-profit housing is not only the most efficient brake on rent prices but together with housing subsidies it is also an important means of creating high-quality needs-oriented living space that enables older people and people with disabilities in particular to live the way they want imagine.Coordinated with the social welfare association SHV Klagenfurt Land which operates the old peoples home and Lebenshilfe which will look after the residential association the project was conceived and is now in the implementation phase. SHV chairman Mayor Franz Ragger Maria Rain and Mayor Ingo App Ferlach emphasized the great importance of needs-oriented living space for the communities. Local offers are particularly important for the elderly.The tenants of the new residential project in Ferlach are given the opportunity to take advantage of the wide range of offers in the adjoining retirement home. This begins with participation in the animation program and goes through eating meals and care in the day-care center to the possibility of on-call duty.
