A new elderly care home in Vendolí, Czech Republic, opened on January 20, 2026, serving 20 seniors who need professional care. The facility was initiated by the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren (ECCB) in Svitavy and developed through ECCB Diaconia, with support from regional authorities and multiple donors—including The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

From their private rooms, residents can access common areas where they meet and take part in leisure activities. The home also includes a prayer room, space for family visits, and a quiet setting close to nature.

“[This project] is proof that when you have energy and vision, a group of friends, and God’s guidance, you can succeed in anything,” said Radka Renzová, a presbyter of the ECCB in Svitavy.

“I thank [Latter-day Saints] for the trust they placed in this project and for their generous support,” said Květa Kellerová, director of the home.

The Church’s contribution fostered the completion of the building’s interior.
