Our Operations

The medical unit of habilitation belongs to the functional disability area within the Close Care and Health administration in Region Uppsala. Habilitation targets children, adolescents, and adults with disabilities; autism with or without intellectual disability, intellectual disability, movement disabilities, multiple disabilities, and acquired brain injury.

The medical unit aims to identify and address medical complications that may be associated with a disability. This may involve issues such as sleep problems, eating situations, or mental health issues. The unit collaborates closely with the habilitation units and cooperates with doctors at the Academic Hospital.

The unit also has healthcare responsibility up to the nurse level for children's residences, short-term housing for children and adolescents in Uppsala County, short-term housing within LSS for adults, and certain HVB homes.

At the medical unit, doctors, nurses, dietitians, and secretaries work. We also have pediatric neurologists and ST doctors from the Academic Hospital, as well as a BUP consultant who holds consultations in our premises for certain children belonging to habilitation.
