The care home in Fertőd is to be refurbished

The local council of Fertőd in Győr-Moson-Sopron County is modernising the part of the building at 7 Fő utca that houses the care home for the elderly. Although the building also serves another purpose – the health visitor service is based here too – this project specifically concerns the refurbishment of the part of the building dedicated to caring for the elderly.

In addition to the interior refurbishments, the mechanical and electrical systems will be upgraded, and the building’s façade will also be fitted with thermal insulation. All this is revealed in the publicly available public procurement database.

The contractor awarded the contract is Betonépfor Concrete Products, Installation, Distribution and Road Construction Ltd. The project is being carried out with the support of the Európai Regionális Fejlesztési Alap, as part of the TOP-PLUSZ project.

Interior spaces and building services systems are being modernised

Several rooms in this 112-square-metre section of the building are being refurbished. The communal area and the kitchen are being refurbished, with new furniture and floor and wall coverings being fitted. The toilets, the corridor, the office and the break room are also being refurbished. The floors will be fitted with non-slip ceramic tiles, the walls will be plastered and painted, and the ceilings will be fitted with plasterboard suspended ceilings.

The modernisation work also extends to the technical systems. The entire electrical wiring will be replaced, and energy-efficient light fittings will be installed. The old boiler will be replaced with a condensing gas boiler, and the heating and hot-water pipework will also be upgraded. The existing radiators will be retained.

The building is to be fitted with thermal insulation

The damaged plasterwork on the façade will be repaired, after which a thermal insulation system will be installed. The building will be painted a light beige colour, whilst the plinth will be brown. As part of the refurbishment, the existing entrance gate will also be repaired and the car park will be redesigned. Plans are in place to create two disabled parking spaces, three staff parking spaces and two visitor parking spaces.

Naturally, the question arises as to what will happen to the residents and the health visitor service whilst the refurbishment is taking place. According to the city’s website, the centre will temporarily relocate to the main building of the cycling camp at 2 Madách Promenade whilst the works are underway. The health visitor service will also continue to operate from a new location, in the Muzsikaház at 1 Madách Promenade, in the offices next to the former document office.

The same source states that the local council of Fertőd, as the organisation responsible for running the facility, began renovating the retirement home building on 2 November 2026 .
