residential care centre overview

The geo-layer shows the exact locations of the residential care centres and can be used in function of the management of the residential and care patrimony and spatial analyses in combination with other information: distribution, environmental analyses, accessibility. In a residential care centre or ‘WZC’, elderly people who, because of a long-term illness, are highly dependent on the help of third parties to be able to carry out daily life activities are welcome. This need for care can be situated both physically and psychologically. The inventory was made on the basis of data from the Agency for Care and Health, supplemented by data from Zorgbedrijf Antwerpen and the umbrella associations residential elderly care Zorgnet Icuro and VLOZO (Flemish Independent Care Network) . The address fields were used to link the settings to the Large-scale base map.
