Elderly Care Home

The Home for Older People is a project to help those older than fifty years of age in Bratislava to secure housing.

Assistance to older residents is provided by renting out flats under the conditions laid down in the statute of the Home for Older People. Older residents can take advantage of allocated rental flats in the building at 3 Rezedová Street in Bratislava, which is owned and administered by the city.

In accordance with the statute and the approved procedure for the allocation of rental flats owned by the city that have not been entrusted to the administration of a city borough, the tenancy contracts are concluded for a maximum of two years with the possibility of repeated extensions subject to compliance with the conditions arising from the statute and the tenancy contract. There is no maximum limit to the tenancy period.

Accommodation is provided for:

  • people over fifty years of age
  • married couples
