BW Velden

BW Velden is a protected living facility, founded by Confidence Twende in 2016. This facility offers a safe and supported living environment for people who are ready to live more independently. The focus is on independent living with the necessary support, allowing residents to gradually increase their self-reliance.

Confidence Twende is an organization that offers a wide range of care and support options in Central and Northern Limburg, such as protected living, day care, and work reintegration at the workshop in Maasbree, ambulatory support, and safehouses. Confidence Twende is centered on the belief that everyone has the right to a full place in society. They prioritize continuity of care, providing as much support and treatment as possible in the home situation. They assist participants in doing things themselves, rather than taking tasks over, ensuring a gradual transition from professional care to the social network of family, friends, and volunteers.

SMALL-SCALE

BW Velden is a small-scale facility with twelve living spaces, where each resident has their own studio. All studios are equipped with a bedroom, living room, shower, and a kitchenette with a stove. On the ground floor, there is a common area, which is intentionally not furnished because residents primarily live in their own studios.

DIFFERENTIATION

BW Velden is a facility for adults (18+), both men and women, who need support with independent living. The target group is broad and mainly consists of people with complex needs, such as mild intellectual disabilities (LVB) and addiction, but can also include higher-educated individuals (HBO).

At BW Velden, independence is central. The support is tailored to the individual needs of the residents, with some receiving more support than others. There are only a few structured activities within the facility, apart from the monthly participants’ meeting. The guiding principle is that residents make the most use of existing services and facilities in the community.

COMMUNITY-INTEGRATION

BW Velden does not have formal collaborations with the neighborhood, but residents, like other locals, use local facilities and are active in work, volunteer work, and day activities. They live independently and can pay rent for their studio (depending on the indication), enabling them to participate fully as community members. However, the facility experiences some resistance from the neighborhood, as not all residents view the presence of BW Velden positively. To reduce stigmatization and NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) issues, the founder of Confidence Twende ideally aims to evolve into scattered living across the city in the future. This would further promote the integration of residents into society.
