Hi, I’m Bo, from Found by Bo. Having worked in the Maastricht real estate sector for nearly 15 years, I know this city inside and out its neighborhoods, its homes, and its unique character. I understand that finding the right home when you have special needs can be challenging, and I’m here to guide you through the process with care and expertise.
How I Support You in Finding the Right Home
When it comes to accessibility, I make sure to focus on homes that fit your specific needs and mobility requirements. Here’s how I help:
I listen carefully to your needs and preferences to find properties that are realistically suitable and accessible.
I provide clear explanations of the rental or purchase process so you feel confident every step of the way.
Living with special needs means you want more than just a house, you want a home that truly supports your lifestyle.
Accessibility in Maastricht: What to Expect
Maastricht is generally a welcoming and accessible city, but like many historic European towns, some areas can pose challenges.
Many public spaces such as parks, cafes, and museums have made good strides towards accessibility.
Historic districts feature cobblestone streets and uneven surfaces that can be difficult for people with mobility challenges, so it’s important to take this into account when choosing a location.
Public transportation, including buses and the central train station, offers accessible options, making it easier to get around.
Most historic sites are working to improve access, but it’s worth checking specific locations in advance if accessibility is a concern.
Healthcare and Support Services
Maastricht has a solid healthcare infrastructure to support residents with special needs. The University Medical Center Maastricht (UMC) is an important regional hub providing a wide range of specialized medical services, including rehabilitation and ongoing care.
In addition to UMC, your general practitioner (GP) will be a key partner in managing your health and coordinating treatments or referrals as needed. The healthcare system here is reliable, but it’s always a good idea to stay proactive and maintain open communication with your care providers.
For additional social and practical support, organizations such as Stichting MEE in nearby Heerlen offer valuable guidance and services to people with disabilities and their families.
I hope this helps you get a clear picture of living in Maastricht with special needs. If you’re planning a move or want personalized advice, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to make sure your transition is as smooth and comfortable as possible. Bo Gorren
