New inclusion house opened in Baunatal: A place of togetherness!
Yesterday Baunatal experienced a significant milestone in social care. With the opening of the new day care center of the Baunataler Diakonie Kassel (BDKS) on Kirchbaunaer Straße, an important contact point is created for people with increased need for help and complex limitations. The facility not only offers modern day care, but also five barrier-free residential units, which enable a total of 24 people aged 18 to 65 to live and learn in a supportive environment. Loud HNA The costs of the project amounted to an impressive 6.1 million euros.
The new day care center extends over a generous area of 1000 square meters. This investment was urgently needed because the previous mining site was no longer viable. The additional cost increase of over one million euros came as no surprise, as construction prices are rising noticeably and there is a noticeable shortage of construction companies. The construction of the day care center cost 4.3 million euros, while the living areas cost 1.8 million euros.
A well thought out offer
Thanks to the well-thought-out concept of the BDKS, the focus is on the individual needs of the clients. The ground floor of the facility offers a central community and care area with various functional rooms. These include areas for rest, therapy, games and music as well as a Snoezel room for sensory experiences. A covered terrace area expands the space and provides a pleasant connection to the outdoor areas, such as crep-d explained.
The outdoor areas are not only a place for relaxation, but also offer therapeutic options with exercise-enhancing play equipment. The five barrier-free small apartments are located on the upper floor and are easily accessible via an open staircase and an elevator. This design ensures a homely atmosphere and quality of life for the residents.
Sustainability and ecology
The architecture of the building impresses with its sustainable and ecological approach. Materials such as wood and a green roof not only set modern standards, but also take environmentally friendly aspects into account. As part of future nature conservation projects, the settlement of bee colonies and the planting of raised beds are planned, among other things, in order to promote leisure activities and environmental awareness, according to the comments HNA.
Overall, the new day care center in Baunatal shows how integration, social support and sustainability can be combined under one roof. A good understanding of the needs of future residents is clearly noticeable here, and the facility promises to become an important part of the community.
