Accommodation
The Euro-BBW has four residential houses, each one containing five separate shared flats with six single and two double rooms.
Residents may decorate their own room with personal possessions, plants, posters, pictures or have a stereo etc. We regret that keeping a pet is not possible.
The flats also offer a spacious community area - consisting of a kitchen and dining room, a washkitchen (with washing machine tumble dryer and an area for ironing) and a living room with a couch suite and television set. There are no TV or telephone connections in the rooms themselves.
A social counsellor usually supervises each shared flat until 11 pm, overnight one counsellor in each residence is on duty.
Every flat is allowed a budget for daily needs. Meals for the evening and weekends are bought and prepared by the group themselves, who also do their own housework such as dishwashing and refuse disposal. The individual residents are responsible for cleaning their own room, as far as this is not restricted through any disability. The bed linen is taken care of by our housekeeping trainees; personal laundry is managed by the individual under supervision. The overall aim is to learn to live as a community, to delegate daily tasks amongst each other and to solve any conflicts that may occur.
Residents in single rooms each share a bathroom with the neighbouring room or a neighbour of the same gender. Male and female residents may share the same flat, though not as a couple in one room.
The residence blocks are run to varied house rules and rules for cohabitation depending on the occupant profile (age pattern, type of support or training).
Alongside the accommodation within the Euro-BBW campus there are external resident groups in Bitburg town. The participants are usually allocated two-room flats with a bathroom and kitchen and receive regular support from a social counsellor.
