Senior housing: A real estate segment attracting increasing attention from investors in the Czech Republic and Slovakia

An alternative real estate segment, already well known in the West, is only now just emerging in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Dúbravská Oáza, a facility for senior citizens and patients with Alzheimer’s disease, represents the flagship of this new type of real estate investment. Crowdberry investors now have the opportunity to be among the first in this market and to help this particular property in its expansion plans, while also showing the way forward for society as a whole.

Worrisome demographic development in both countries

By 2064, 34% of Slovakia’s population will be over the age of 65 (see Graph 1). The situation is very similar in the Czech Republic, where by 2050 approximately 35% of the population will be over the age of 60 and require specialised care (see Graph 2).
