The Beim Goldknapp nursing home opened its doors in 2007 in Erpeldange-sur-Sûre, Luxembourg. The home specialises exclusively in the care and support of people with dementia. With the growing number of people living with dementia, it soon became clear that the demand for a specialist facility would only increase. This encouraged those in charge of the Association Luxembourg Alzheimer (ala) to take steps to expand the Beim Goldknapp residential and nursing home.
After careful planning and obtaining the necessary permits, work began in spring 2021 and after two years of construction, the new building welcomed its first residents in August 2023. It offers 36 additional rooms divided into three specialised units: "Am Weessefeld", "Beim Kiischtebam" and "Bei den Tulpen". Each unit comprises a living area and 12 single rooms, each measuring 24 m2.
• The "Am Weessefeld" living unit is reserved for people with dementia and special needs.
• Bei den Tulpen" is for young people with dementia.
• The "Beim Kiischtebam" living unit is for people with dementia and is identical to the existing units in the "Beim Goldknapp" residential and nursing home.
The new living units were inaugurated on 28 September 2023, in the presence of Max Hahn, Minister for the Family, Integration and the Greater Region, and Claude Haagen, Minister for Social Security.
