New residential project in Attendorn: A home for people with disabilities!

In the heart of Attendorn, the foundation stone was recently laid for an important residential project, which is aimed especially at people with intellectual disabilities. Together with the FOCUS network for life & living from the Caritas Association Olpe, a time capsule and the first walls of the new residential complex were inaugurated. This event not only symbolizes the start of a new chapter in the life of future residents, but also for a valuable improvement in the quality of life for you and your relatives.

Many construction progress are already visible; The base plate was created and the staircase with a elevator shaft is also in the works. In an exciting way, the majority of the building is built in wooden masses, which is not only modern, but also sustainable. The facility will include seven apartments as well as two four residential groups and a three-person living group and offers space for up to 21 people.

a well thought -out concept for more independence

The innovative living concept promotes a safe and supportive environment that strengthens the independence of future residents. The shared apartments represent a valuable addition to the existing offers of the Caritas Association and can also be linked to outpatient offers of disabled help for other target groups.

The new residential complex, which is in the immediate vicinity of the Allee Center, stands for an integrative living concept. It offers a balance between outpatient care and a sense of community that is strengthened by community rooms and a garden. This is of great importance, since it not only offers the residents a home, but also promotes social interaction and participation in community life.

The roots of this project have been back over two decades. It all started with the purchase of a property on Grafweg. Lothar Epe, chairman of the Caritas Council, reported in his welcoming words of the initial plans that have been revised several times over the years. After the old building was torn down, the new concept finally took shape and can now become a reality.

The implementation of this project is not only another step towards integration and self -determination for people with disabilities, but also a sign of the commitment of the Caritas Association, to improve the living conditions of people in the region. The future residents can look forward to a homely, appealing environment that meets their needs and at the same time offers incentives to participate in social life.
