Senior care facility developments in Central Bohemia
Overview
The Central Bohemian Region has faced a crisis in senior care following the closure of the Březnice senior home. Although a plan was established in June to transfer 35 residents to a private provider, SenLife, that provider withdrew from the agreement on August 24, 2026. Regional Councilor Martin Hrabánek stated the region is now working to secure placements in other facilities, including Sedlčany, Pečky, Příbram, and Rožmitál pod Třemšínem.
Opposition members have criticized the regional assembly for not being allowed to reassess the impact of the closure now that the original transfer plan is invalid.
In response to regional needs, a new three-story pavilion has opened at the Centrum Rožmitál facility in Rožmitál pod Třemšínem. This project, costing approximately 129 million Czech koruna and funded over 77 percent by European resources, adds 36 beds to the center. The expansion focuses on improving staff working conditions and resident privacy, while providing specialized care for individuals with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
