Aedifica is pleased to announce the acquisition of two senior housing sites in The Netherlands.
Het Gouden Hart – Kampen
The Het Gouden Hart1 care residence is a small-scale residential care facility in the middle to high-end market segment, oriented toward seniors requiring on-going assistance.

Transformation works were carried out by Schagen Groep and were completed in early April 2017. The site comprises a care residence, which is able to welcome 26 residents, and a care hotel (oriented toward short-term rehabilitative and respite care) with a capacity of 11 residents.
