Militza Gent – Ghent
Militza Gent3 is located in a 3-ha park in a residential area approx. 5 km from Ghent (265.000 inhabitants, Province of East-Flanders). It was originally constructed in 1979 and has been renovated and extended several times. The care property currently has 90 apartments, of which 28 accommodate up to 32 elderly people requiring continuous care and 62 accommodate elderly people desiring independent living with access to on-request care and services. Thanks to this integrated care and service model, the care complex became a leading senior care residence. The apartments range in size from 27 to 110 m² (for assisted-living residents). The building will be extended and upgraded so that its residents can continue to enjoy high-quality care and comfort in the future. The works include not only an extension and complete renovation of the oldest part of the building, but also the upgrading of the energy performance of the entire site to EPC rating 'A'. Additional space for 54 residents will be created, bringing the site's total capacity to 148 residents. These improvements fit within the masterplan approved by the authorities of the city of Ghent. The works will start after obtaining a building permit and are expected to be completed 2.5 years thereafter.
The care properties are operated by Militza, which is part of the My-Assist group. The group is an established private player in the Belgian senior care market with a proven operating model. My-Assist currently operates 10 care homes, providing high-quality residential care and rehabilitation care to more than 1,300 elderly people who are no longer able to live independently at home.
