Villa Moritz

Bochum

"As much independence as possible - as much help as needed" is the motto under which tenants will experience the new housing model for individuals with dementia.

The community living arrangement allows a person with dementia to maintain a high degree of independence while accessing all forms of outpatient care and support (optional services). The building is equipped to meet care needs. Each floor is accessible by elevator, and rooms and bathrooms are designed to be barrier-free.

There is an option to live together in a small, family-like group. Each resident has access to communal kitchens and living rooms. In these spaces, there is the opportunity to organize daily life together, cook together, and pursue hobbies. This family-style living arrangement is particularly suited for individuals seeking closer contact with others.

On the ground floor, there are two wheelchair-accessible apartments of 28 square meters each, and four additional apartments on the two upper floors, all of which have their own barrier-free equipped shower rooms. Residents can furnish their private spaces according to their personal taste.

On the ground floor, a community area of about 100 square meters with a living kitchen serves as the center. This space creates an environment that supports activities for residents and interaction with family members, caregivers, and service partners. The spacious garden can be accessed through the living kitchen. The design of the garden is intended to be open and cater to the interests of the residents (kitchen garden, hedges, and seating areas).
