Serviced residences in Belgium¶

The common pages of Serviced residences describe the application in every country. This page gathers what the Belgian pack adds. In Belgium the sector reads RS on badges and lists, as the MR, the MRS and the CSJ do.

The regional regimes¶

Serviced Living → Configuration → Regimes holds four ready-made sheets, one per licensing authority:

Each sheet sets the entry age, the surfaces, the rules of the price and of its increases, the deposit, the notices, the trial and withdrawal periods, the call register, the council rhythm and the retention of the file. Its Legal basis names the texts it was read from and what is still to confirm with the authority. See Regimes for what each rule does.

The pieces of a Belgian file¶

The pack lists the usual pieces in Serviced Living → Configuration → Pieces of the file: Identity card, Medical certificate, Inventory of the unit, Deposit account, What the price includes, Signed agreement and House rules. None is required by default: tick Required to sign on the pieces your residence insists on before a signature.

The operating title¶

The residence form gains an Operating title tab:

• Operating title — Provisional or Definitive;

• Title number, Title granted on and Title valid until — empty for a title without an end date;

• Fire certificate valid until;

• Linked nursing home — the nursing home the residence is tied to.

From 90 days before the title or the fire certificate ends, a warning shows at the top of the residence.

The Katz at application¶

Some residences ask for a Katz assessment at application, to check that the person is independent enough. It is the residence’s own rule, off by default. The assessment is usually made outside the residence, by the person’s doctor or home nurse.

In the residence’s Application tab:

• Katz at application — the contract cannot be signed without a validated Katz of each occupant;

• Katz not older than (months) — 6 by default; 0 accepts a Katz of any age;

• Most dependent category — above it, the contract shows a warning, and the signature stays possible.

A resident of an RS without a Katz shows no Katz button on their record, and the residents list is not sorted by Katz category. See The Katz assessment.

The health index¶

Serviced Living → Configuration → Health index keeps the health index, one line per month, typed in by hand. When you change the price of contracts, the window proposes Of which index (%) from the move of the index since January of that year. Without a figure, type the index part yourself. See Changing the price.

A residence beside an MR/MRS¶

When the same database runs a nursing home (MR/MRS) or a day care centre and a residence:

• Admissions — the request asks for the stay type first. RS shows the free units of the residence (for example 6/8 free), and choosing it fills in the Residence; the quick-create card asks the same.

• Billing — the residents of the RS join the month’s period beside the MR, MRS and CSJ residents. Their row and their lines show the unit and the contract, without Katz category, INAMI share or pseudo-code. See Billing a residence.

• eHealth — the residents of the RS never enter the MDA, the eAgreement or eFact, and never count in the Katz or MDA alerts of the billing dashboard.

• Dashboard — the Serviced living lane shows once, with the main establishment.

Moving a resident between the RS and the MR or MRS goes through the internal transfer: see Moving between a serviced residence and the nursing home.
