- Abstract
The Dutch population is gradually ageing. In January 2012, the Netherlands counted 2.7 million people of 65 years and older. This ageing process results in major challenges for Dutch society and government. One of the challenges is the provision of housing and care for the elderly. As many municipalities in the Netherlands, the municipality of Nieuwkoop is also faced with the growing need for elderly care. In order to meet this de mand, in 2007 the municipality decided to develop and realise a residential care complex for elderly people living in Ter Aar and the surrounding area. The goal of this explorative research is to provide insights from the perspectives of different stakeholders give recommendations for further research and give advices on important factors that could contribute to the added value of the residential care complex and should be taken into account during the design and realisation process.
