PFA Senior Housing

PFA Senior Housing

When you are a PFA customer, you have the opportunity to apply for PFA’s senior housing.
Here, you can live safely and comfortably – close to nature, culture and a vibrant community.

Welcome to life as a Passionist

There is no single recipe for a good senior life. However, we believe it begins with freedom. Freedom to live as you wish. To pursue old interests – or discover new ones. To enjoy solitude when you need it and company when you want it.

We call it ‘life as a Passionist’.

What is a Passionist home?

A Passionist home is not a co-housing community. However, it is also more than just a home. It is your own private residence – situated in a vibrant and friendly neighbourhood. You will live close to nature, culture, shopping and public transport. This gives you the freedom to live the life you dream of – no matter where you are in life. And you might just find yourself living door-to-door with other Passionists who share some of your interests.

All our homes meet PFA's senior housing standards. This means they are designed with a focus on safety, accessibility and comfort – featuring amenities such as lifts, easy access, well-thought-out lighting and practical layouts.

PFA’s senior housing includes:

  • Homes in mixed-use buildings – where some flats are specifically designed for seniors
  • Buildings with access to shared facilities such as conservatories, kitchens, workshops, terraces and guest rooms
  • Homes located next to a nursing home – ensuring help and security are close by if your needs change.

A senior-friendly home

When you choose a home as a Passionist, you also choose freedom – both now and in the future. Think ahead: What might you need in five or ten years?

You may be living an active and independent life today. But as you age, your wishes and needs may change – without compromising your quality of life.

A senior-friendly home is not just about wider doorways and lifts. It is also about choosing a home that offers you safety, comfort and flexibility – today and in the years to come.

That is why PFA’s senior-friendly homes are either newly built or renovated with these needs in mind: excellent accessibility, fewer barriers, plenty of natural light and overall comfort. Some properties are specifically designed for individuals over the age of 55 who do not have children living at home – with a focus on community and tranquillity in daily life.

You can live the way you want – now and in the future.

Plan ahead in good time

A good senior life begins with good decisions – and they are easiest to make while you still have the energy. Have you thought about how you would like to live in 10 years?

Moving requires energy and a clear mind, which is why it is an advantage to make the decision while you still have both.

Many start considering a new home when their children have moved out or when they sense a change in their life rhythm. It might also be that you find yourself living alone and wish for more security and a sense of community.

It is not about predicting everything – but about giving yourself the freedom to choose. By planning ahead, you often have more housing options to choose from – and a better chance of finding something you both want and can afford.

We are living longer and more varied lives than ever before. That is why your home should also accommodate the changes life brings. A Passionist home does just that.

 

    

The social or private senior home

Some thrive best in their own company. Others in the company of others. With us, the choice is yours – and it starts with your home.

Read moreView less

PFA’s senior-friendly homes come in various forms – because we are all different and so should our homes be.

All homes are classic rental properties, built to PFA’s senior housing standards with a focus on safety, accessibility and comfort. You can choose among different types of buildings:

Some of our properties are exclusively designed for seniors – for those over 55 without children living at home.

Others have a mixed tenant composition, where only selected homes are senior-friendly. And some are located near a private sector nursing home, providing the option for additional support if the need arises.

This also means that in these settings, you often get more for your money – as costs and social opportunities are shared among the residents. You always live in your own flat, with your own door and your own space – but with the option to open up to others.

Senior housing with flexibility and community

All homes are built to PFA’s senior housing standards – with a focus on comfort, accessibility and safety.

You decide how you want to live: in a property exclusively for seniors like yourself – or in a residential building where some flats are senior-friendly, while others are for all age groups. Here, you live in your own home – with access to shared facilities and the chance to become part of an informal and friendly community whenever you feel like it. For us, community means exactly that: a friendly and informal neighbourhood. A place where it feels natural to greet one another, lend a hand or share a cup of coffee – but also perfectly fine to close your door and enjoy your own space. You choose how – and how much – you want to participate.


"I’ll never be a professional. But I couldn’t care less"

Security in daily life and for the long term

When life changes, you should be able to stay in your home. That is why PFA’s senior-friendly homes are built with a focus on safety – both practical and personal. As a Passionist, it is about living life to the fullest – even when your daily routines change. That is why we create environments that give you the energy and freedom to keep doing what you are passionate about.

Examples:

  • Senior-friendly construction with lifts, easy access and video intercom systems
  • Our caretaker manages maintenance and upkeep of shared areas
  • Internal waiting list with priority access to larger or smaller homes


"It’s never too late to set sail on new adventures"

Make the most of your money – and your space

When we share, we get more for our money – and avoid unexpected expenses.

Examples:

  • Resident fund for shared investments
  • Shared facilities such as newspapers, tools and kitchen equipment
  • Organisation through a residents’ council to support the community
  • Reasonable rent, even in retirement
  • No expenses for maintenance or additional operations

That is why we have a standard

At PFA, we want to make it easier to choose a home that suits you – not just now, but also in the future. That is why we have developed the PFA Senior Housing Standard in collaboration with the Danish Building Research Institute. The standard ensures that the homes are safe, accessible and adapted to life in your third age – including features such as:

  • Lifts in multi-storey buildings
  • Video intercom systems and good lighting
  • Few or no door thresholds
  • Thoughtfully designed access and locations close to shops and transport.
When you choose a Passionist home, you can trust that it has been built with the future in mind.  
 

Choose a place that makes everyday life easier

Live close to what makes life simpler – and richer

A good community starts with the right location. That is why we select the locations for PFA’s senior-friendly homes with great care.

Here, you will live close to everything that brings ease to your daily life and allows you to enjoy a fulfilling and passionate life in your third age – as a Passionist. When your surroundings inspire you, it becomes easier to pursue your interests and dreams.

The homes are generally located close to city centres and provide easy access to:

  • Shops and public transport
  • Cultural and leisure activities
  • Nature and green spaces
  • Healthcare and care services 

You’re not just moving – you’re settling in

When PFA opens a new property, we place a strong emphasis on the aspects that make a difference in everyday life: a vibrant neighbourhood built on a strong sense of community. To support this, we organise a welcome programme for the first residents – an introductory course designed to ensure a smooth start and to lay the foundation for a thriving neighbourhood, which is key to living a passionate life. The welcome programme is offered at the start of new property developments, and is tailored for the group of new residents moving in.

The programme may include:

  • A welcome letter with house rules, values and practical information
  • An introductory meeting where you get to meet your new neighbours and help establish a residents’ association
  • An optional course package on how to foster a good neighbourhood and an active community
  • Internal and external interest lists (with priority access for PFA customers)
  • Support from the residents’ council and a host to help you settle in.

Questions and answers – everything you want to know

About housing types and standards

What is a Passionist home?

A Passionist home is a senior-friendly rental property where you can live comfortably and securely – either on your own or as part of a community if you wish. You decide the level of community involvement and the type of home that suits you.

What is the difference between a regular rental home and a senior-friendly home?

A senior-friendly home is tailored to meet your needs in the third age. This includes features such as accessible entrances, bathrooms and lifts. All homes are built according to the PFA Senior Housing Standard.

What is PFA’s Senior Housing Standard?

It is a set of requirements and principles developed in collaboration with the Danish Building Research Institute (SBI) to ensure safe, accessible and functional homes for the third age. See the brochure for details.

Signing up

Who can sign up?

You must be a PFA customer – this means that you have a pension plan or insurance with PFA. You must live in the home yourself and must not be registered with RKI. It is not permitted to keep pets, smoke in the home or sublet through platforms like Airbnb.*

*NB: Some properties allow one pet – this will be stated in the property description.

How do I sign up?

Through My PFA (mitpfa.dk), you can click through to Findbolig.nu, where you create a profile and specify your housing preferences. 

How does the waiting list work?

You accrue seniority from the day you sign up. When a home becomes available, it is first offered to those with the highest seniority. You can track your position under "My Page" on Findbolig.nu.

When will I be offered a home?

This depends on how many people are signed up, how often homes become available and your position on the waiting list.

What happens if I decline – or do not respond?

After three rejections or lack of response, your status will change to passive applicant. You can easily reactivate yourself through your profile.

How do I remove myself from the waiting list?

Under "My Page" on Findbolig.nu, you can easily delete or change your housing preferences.

Moving, rights and customer status

What happens when I am offered a home?

You will receive a notification via email and be contacted by the property administrator. Allocation is based on seniority and credit assessment. You will be required to pay a deposit equivalent to 3 months’ rent and 1 month’s prepaid rent.

What happens to my place on the list if I accept or decline a housing offer?

If you accept and are allocated the home, you will be removed from all other waiting lists. If you accept but do not get the home, you retain your place on the list. Three rejections or no response will make your status passive.

What happens if I am no longer a PFA customer?

You can only sign up and gain priority as long as you are a PFA customer. However, if you are already living in a PFA home, you can remain there.

How am I verified as a PFA customer?

You gain priority by creating your profile through My PFA. Once your profile is created, you are verified as a PFA customer and can log in directly on Findbolig.

What happens if I pass away or get divorced?

If your partner is listed on the contract or shares the same address, he or she may remain in the home. If you are the sole tenant on the lease, only you can remain in the home.

What if you have name and address protection?

The landlord will have access to your contact details on registration – even if you have protection. If you do not wish this, you must cancel your registration via Findbolig.nu.

Practical and personal

Where can I find information about my home?

Your tenancy agreement will state who manages the property. Contact them if you have any questions.

How is my personal information handled?

You can read more about how we process your personal data here.

What is Findbolig.nu?

Findbolig.nu is a platform that facilitates access to available rental, youth and senior housing. It is free for PFA customers to create a profile and search for homes via My PFA. Findbolig is owned by DEAS A/S.

Where can I find available PFA senior homes?

On Findbolig.nu, you can search for homes with features such as balconies, lifts, pet allowances, parking and more – and filter for "senior-friendly" properties.

What do you mean by "community"?

We mean a friendly and informal neighbourhood. A place where it feels natural to greet each other, lend a hand or share a cup of coffee – but it is also perfectly fine to close your door and enjoy your privacy. Some properties have communal spaces or guest rooms, while others offer shared dining or workshops. You decide how involved you want to be.

Do I have to join the residents' council or organise events?

Only if you want to. Some contribute a lot, others a little – and that is absolutely fine. The residents' council is an option, not an obligation. Many simply choose to participate in the activities they find enjoyable.

What does it mean to be an active/passive applicant?

Active = You receive offers and accrue seniority. Passive = You do not receive offers, but your seniority is preserved. You can change your status under "My Waiting Lists" on Findbolig.nu.
