Stichting Wijk en Senioren Centrum De Hofstede

About Stichting Wijk en Senioren Centrum De Hofstede

As a Community and Senior Center, “De Hofstede” offers the potential for a community and activity center for the elderly and residents of Velserbroek that partly builds on the current activity program, but that has also taken a new direction since January 1, 2024 in terms of a coherent and appealing offer for and by the elderly in De Hofstede and in the surrounding neighborhoods.
The aim is for De Hofstede to increasingly contribute to supporting the elderly to maintain their own control and to be able to continue living independently for as long as possible. Promoting social cohesion and strengthening cooperation between informal and formal care and welfare are important points of attention, with the motto: 'Care for each other and care with each other'.
The Community and Senior Center De Hofstede is connected to 151 senior homes of Velison Wonen. The residents of these homes, as well as users from the surrounding neighborhoods in Velserbroek and the coordinators/volunteers of the activities are the users of De Hofstede. Currently, approximately 780 people visit the Community and Senior Center every week, and are supported during activities and served in the center by approximately 70 volunteers.
