RAISING THE BAR

Aedifica builds futureproof healthcare real estate. We proved that once again in 2021 with a number of major concrete examples. We develop and invest in innovative residential and care concepts, paying careful attention to the sustainability of these buildings. Our starting point here is that care users and those around them have to be able to enjoy a positive experience tailored to their care needs.

Society's expectations about how care is organised are changing. The bar is being raised, and rightly so. As a reference player in European healthcare real estate, our mission is therefore to translate the new views about living conditions and care into buildings. So together with those who run these buildings, Aedifica offers care users innovative real-estate concepts that modernise care, especially elderly care, from various points of view.

The well-being of the care user is the first and most important priority. In care homes, we counter loneliness by creating a pleasant living environment that connects people with other residents, with family, friends or neighbours. We put forward innovative solutions allowing couples with differing care needs to stay together. In addition, care facilities are increasingly geared to care on a small scale, offering residents a safe and secure environment. We also enhance the dignity of senior citizens by designing living areas that give them autonomy and enable them to look after themselves for as long as possible.

For Aedifica, care facilities are not an island. Several complementary care functions are increasingly being combined on a single campus. In this way, we create care nodes that are at the service not only of the residents, but also of the local community.

The healthcare real estate of the future should not only provide an attractive care concept tailored to the needs of the user. It also has to be sustainable. Our strategy therefore aims to achieve (net) zero carbon emissions by 2050. To this end, in 2021 we devised a sustainable development framework to be applied to new development projects. In this context, we not only approach sustainability from an ecological perspective. We also focus on the well-being and comfort of the residents.
