About the Workplace

Edshultsgården's special housing welcomes you with its historic exterior and the laughter of many children eating their lunch in the same premises. Warmth and a sense of home characterize both Edshultgården's values and departments. Edshultsgården is divided into 3 floors and 9 departments, all with round-the-clock staffing and person-centered care. Each department has 8-9 residents, but the long corridors give the feeling of a regular apartment building. In addition, we have the privilege of having 3 quality leaders, a meal coordinator, and an activity coordinator who focus on quality in our care.

Edshultsgården has a dementia focus in 8 of its departments and a somatic focus in one department.
