Central Bohemia Plans Two New Senior Homes

Why this is here: The planned senior home in Říčany will include 91 beds, with spaces designed for both general senior care and a special regime for people experiencing dementia.

Martin Hrabánek, a regional councilor in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic, announced plans to build two new senior homes after 2030. One facility will be located in Říčany and hold 91 beds, split between standard care and a special regime for dementia patients. The Říčany city will provide land and assist with permits, while the regional council will fund the roughly 500 million CZK construction.

The second home will be built in Kralupy nad Vltavou through a different arrangement. The city will construct the 117-bed facility and then lease it to the region for 20 years before transferring ownership. This project is estimated to cost around 640 million CZK.

Currently, the Central Bohemian regional network of social services offers 4,258 beds in standard senior homes and 1,942 beds in specialized facilities. The region cites an aging population and limited access to care, particularly for Alzheimer’s and other dementias, as the impetus for expansion. The existing home in Všestudy cannot be modernized, necessitating the new construction.
