Give a caregiver room to breathe

Proceeds from Escape Room Raalte go to the Anton Riet Huis, a respite house where the care recipient stays temporarily so the caregiver has time and space for themselves.

Closer than you think

Everyone knows someone who cares for a sick family member. A partner, a parent, a child. It is a labor of love, but it also means showing up every single day, without a break.

The Anton Riet Huis will be a place where the care recipient can stay temporarily in a safe, homelike environment. This gives the caregiver the breathing room they need — to go on holiday, recover, or simply do something for themselves.

With your support, we are making this possible, right here in Raalte.

Your adventure, their breathing room

All proceeds from Escape Room Raalte go to the Anton Riet Huis. You enjoy a thrilling adventure, and a caregiver gets the break that makes all the difference.

What is respite care?

Respite care is the temporary takeover of care duties, allowing the caregiver to recharge. At the Anton Riet Huis, the care recipient stays in a homely environment with professional support, while the caregiver gets time and space for themselves — for example, to go on holiday or simply rest and recover.
