The new “LimmiCura” care center is under construction

A new care center adapted to today's needs is being built on the former site of the old Limmattal Hospital.

On the site where the high-rise building of the old Limmattal Hospital from 1970 stood until the end of 2019, the new “LimmiCura” care center will be built from 2020 to 2023. In order for the Limmattal Hospital Association to begin implementing the project, the consent of the population was required. This approved the required loan of 65 million francs. The care center, including the day center, three long-term care wards with palliative beds and a rehabilitation floor, is to have 116 rooms: 73 single and 43 double rooms. The new building will have five floors and will be implemented by the architects' office fsp in Spreitenbach. Architecturally, “LimmiCura” is based on the Limmattal Hospital, which was newly opened at the end of 2018. A dementia department with its own garden and a rehabilitation station on the 5th floor with 48 beds are planned. The day center will be located on the ground floor next to the dementia department. The inner courtyards will be accessible. The nursing department is located on floors 2-4. The "LimmiCura" should open in the first quarter of 2023. ■
