Wijgmaal, 24 april 2026 – Woonzorgcentrum Wijgmaalbroek vierde vandaag zijn tiende verjaardag met een gevarieerd programma voor bewoners, familieleden en buurtbewoners. Ook burgemeester Mohamed Ridouani was aanwezig. De blikvanger was een aangrijpende theatermonoloog over dementie.

De dag begon met de theatermonoloog “Va is koning”. Acteur Willy De Jaeghere bracht de complexe belevingswereld van iemand met Alzheimer op een zachte en herkenbare manier. De voorstelling raakte veel aanwezigen en sloot nauw aan bij de persoonsgerichte zorg in Wijgmaalbroek.

“In het hart van ons werk ligt Korians Positive Care-visie, waarbij we niet alleen kwalitatieve zorg bieden, maar vooral oog hebben voor wie onze bewoners zijn, wat hen beweegt en wat hun dag betekenis geeft”, vertelt Mieke Lansbergen, directrice van WZC Wijgmaalbroek. “We geloven dat iedereen moet kunnen blijven doen wat hij of zij graag doet. Dat is de essentie van onze zorg en wat we de voorbije tien jaar hebben betekend voor senioren in Wijgmaal en omstreken.”

Ook de Leuvense burgemeester Mohamed Ridouani bevestigde de sterke lokale rol van het WZC. “Wijgmaalbroek is in tien jaar tijd uitgegroeid tot een huis waar mensen zich gezien en omringd voelen,” verklaarde Ridouani tijdens zijn speech. “Onze stad heeft nood aan plaatsen waar kwaliteit van leven centraal staat, óók wanneer zorgbehoeften toenemen. Wat hier gebouwd is, is meer dan een woonzorgcentrum, het is een gemeenschap en dat moeten wij koesteren.”

Nadien konden bezoekers genieten van randanimatie voor jong en oud. Voor kinderen waren er onder meer volksspelen en grime, terwijl clown Joël voor extra sfeer zorgde. Het jubileum werd afgesloten met een optreden van charmezanger Salim Seghers.
