In retirement, family often moves to the centre of things. Grandchildren are growing up, children need support – and the desire to be close becomes stronger. GLANDON Apartments makes it possible for you to live for a period near where your family is: in a fully furnished apartment, terminable monthly, with no great effort and no permanent relocation.
Being Close Without Giving Everything Up
Many retirees face a balancing act: they want to be near their children or grandchildren – but are not necessarily looking to move permanently and irrevocably. Perhaps their own home is in a different city, perhaps it is still open how long-term the new closeness should be. Or it is about a limited phase where the family needs particular support – after the birth of a grandchild, following an illness, or during a period of transition.
GLANDON Apartments offers flexibility in this situation: you live for two, three, or more months near your family – in a complete, homely environment – and you decide for yourself how long.
What a GLANDON Apartment Offers for Family Proximity
- Fully furnished apartment – ready to live in from day one
- Your own kitchen – you can cook for yourself and keep your routines
- Enough space for yourself – no need for permanent shared living under one roof
- Flexible rental duration – stay for as long as it makes sense
- Quiet, homely atmosphere – no hotel operation
- Conveniently located sites with public transport links
- Bed linen, household supplies, and Wi-Fi included
Support for the Family – and Still Your Own Space
One of the most common needs our guests mention in this situation: they want to be there for the family without disrupting their everyday life. A GLANDON apartment gives you exactly that freedom. You are a few minutes from your children or grandchildren, can come and go at any time – and return in the evening to your own quiet home. This is healthy for everyone.
Temporary Family Presence or Permanent Move?
Some guests come for a few weeks – for example after the birth of a grandchild. Others stay for several months and explore whether a permanent move closer to the family would be the right choice. Both are possible at GLANDON. We adjust the rental duration to your situation – without pressure and without administrative hurdles.

What Our Guests Say
“After the birth of our granddaughter, we wanted to be in Bern for a few months. The GLANDON apartment was perfect: we had our own space, but could be there every day for our daughter and the little one. It was wonderful.”
