A caregiving home is an independent living unit that you place next to either the caregiver’s home or the home of the person in need of care. This way, everyone has their own space, but extra care is always nearby. Want to add a caregiving home? Choose prefab. With this option, you can easily and quickly create an extension that meets all your needs. At Mag bugbriek, you can now design your own prefab caregiving home. Explore the possibilities!
With our online configurator, you can fully customize your caregiving home to your liking. From the façade cladding to the window frames, and from the doors to the skylights. You can also add extra features, such as integrated interior and exterior lighting, power outlets, and connections for a tap. How about underfloor heating for added comfort? You can even include plastering and painting work in your prefab caregiving home design.
Our configurator does not show all available options. For instance, we can also include a bathroom, kitchen, different walls, or extra windows in the design. We can even deliver the caregiving home according to specific living adjustments, such as adding extra handrails in the bathroom and making it fully wheelchair accessible.

The prices for a prefab caregiving home can vary significantly. This is partly due to the size of the extension, but the materials chosen and additional options also influence the cost. Fortunately, you can get an indication of the prices for your prefab caregiving home through our online configurator. With each choice you make, you’ll see the amount update instantly. This way, you know exactly what to expect. Note: Not all options are visible in this configurator.
Just like placing a care unit, a caregiving home is usually permit-free in most cases. However, the extension must comply with the rules from the Building Decree for living environments. Additionally, you cannot continue using the caregiving home as a residence once caregiving is no longer required. You must also remove any kitchen and bathroom. To be sure, check with your municipality for the exact requirements and read: How many m² can you extend without a permit?
In addition to the regulations regarding safety, health, and the environment, the municipality can also provide information about any potential subsidies for your caregiving home. In some cases, you may be able to make use of the Social Support Act (Wmo) or the Long-Term Care Act (Wlz). Depending on the nature and severity of the care needed, the municipality may assist you with financing a caregiving home.
At Mag bugbriek, we install your caregiving extension within five days. Once you approve the quote, we get started right away.
