Do you need heavy care every day, but would still like to (continue to) live independently? Then the VanIJburg residential care building in Amsterdam IJburg is for you. VanIJburg will have twenty medium-rent apartments where you can live independently with care at home. In addition, VanIJburg offers group living for people with dementia. The rental starts Monday, Sept. 8. From then on, you can register online for the rental apartments or sign up for group living for people with dementia.
To find out what homes VanIJburg offers, what care you can get, how the rentals work and if you qualify, there are several information sessions. The first is online, on the day rentals start. This meeting is from 7:30 to 9 p.m. The following day, on Tuesday, September 9, there are three on-site information meetings (Dynamo Steigerplek, William Barlowlaan 1 in Amsterdam). To attend the meetings, you must register. This can be done via this form on the project site. One meeting is now fully booked. The other two are from 6 to 7 p.m. and from 9 to 10 p.m.
VanIJburg is located on the Cas Oorthuyskade on IJburg, in a central location between Steigereiland and Haveneiland-West in Amsterdam. The building offers more than just living: there is a cozy meeting area on the first floor, where you can meet your neighbors, family or friends. There is also a mezzanine, with areas for care and welfare services. Thanks to lots of glass, wood and communal living rooms, VanIJburg feels open and welcoming. You can relax outside in the shared garden or on the roof terrace. Most homes also have private outdoor space.
The twenty medium-priced rental apartments for people who need intensive care will be on the third and fourth floors. In these apartments you live independently, with 24/7 professional care via 'Volledig Pakket Thuis' (VPT). This allows you to largely determine how you receive the care, which is provided by care organization Amstelring. These apartments require a WLZ-indication. For more information, see the frequently asked questions at www.vanijburg.nl. Good to know: VanIJburg also has partner housing, so you can continue to live together if living independently in your old home is no longer possible.
Besides these twenty independent rental apartments for people with (heavy) care, VanIJburg will also have group living for people with dementia. For this target group there will be 36 studios and communal living rooms on the first and second floor. Amstelring provides nursing home care and support in a safe, secure setting, tailored to the residents. This care also requires a WLZ indication. Read more about this in the frequently asked questions on www.vanijburg.nl.
VanIJburg will be a sustainable and energy-efficient building, constructed largely of wood. Good insulation, solar control measures, LED lighting, heat recovery and underfloor heating will ensure lower energy consumption. The residential care building is easily accessible. From the ring road you drive to it in five minutes and streetcar line 26 stops a few minutes' walk away.
Do you need intensive care but want to live independently? Or do you know someone with dementia who is looking for a protected living environment? Then VanIJburg is for you. Find out all about this residential care building, the care on offer and the application procedure during the information sessions on Monday, September 8 (online) or Tuesday, September 9 (on location). Do register. This can be done via this form on the project site.
Completion is scheduled for the first quarter of 2026, with move-in in the second quarter. VanIJburg is an initiative of Apollo Zorgvastgoedfonds, SeARCH architects and Amstelring.
