General when possible, specific when needed

According to the report made available by the city, Tilburg only has general homes for the elderly, and there is a worry that migrants cannot get a care adapted to their culture when they reach a high age. Now the housing corporations in Tilburg build old people’s homes for specific groups, like elderly from Suriname and from Turkey. The policy is: general when possible, specific when needed. All civil servants in Tilburg who have contacts with clients in their work have got an intercultural training. Especially the people in Social Affairs are trained in diversity. It is a standard procedure for a new employee. The general information from the authorities is presented in several languages. When Dutch language is used, the language is rather simple.
