About Triamant

To make the world a better place. To live the longest, healthiest and happiest life possible. Who wouldn’t want that?
Triamant was created in 2005 when two socially responsible entrepreneurs, Jo Robrechts and Dirk De Baets, decided to devise a home and living concept which is much better suited to how people are able and hope to grow older.

Tomorrow’s senior shudders at the thought of yesterday’s offer. No modern 60- or 70-year-old wants to become isolated in the ‘greyed island’ of a residential care home. They would rather live in the most natural setting possible, among friends and family, surrounded by the safety and comfort of the care they need. The key things are social contact and the opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest. And that has nothing to do with age.

Innovative 'Living Neighborhood' Model

The seven traditional types of housing in Belgium have particular disadvantages of their own: in the residential care home you are always a guest, subordinate to an institution. Receiving care in an often un-adapted home, from a nurse who travels from patient to patient, is no longer financially viable and does not relieve the loneliness. With assisted living schemes, it is up to the client to organize the care. Co-housing and inter generational housing solve some of the problems, but not all.

Triamant has created a completely new neighborhood model, which eliminates the disadvantages of the seven housing types, but keeps the key advantages. It is all about life and hospitality and it rests on two essential things: autonomy (supporting residents fully as they keep control of their own lives, even palliative care until the end) and vitality (promoting and supporting a low-risk lifestyle through a healthy diet, exercise, intellectual stimulation, opportunities to meet, and a social network).

In Belgium the eighth way of living is Triamant. Moving will also become a thing of the past. Triamant offers a seamless transition through the stages of life.
