About Villa Båthöjden

Overlooking forests and nature in beautiful Nacka, Villa Båthöjden is located. Here we have 56 places divided into 6 departments, of which 5 are dementia departments and one is a somatic department. The proximity to nature is palpable and an important part of our work. The nursing home in these fantastic premises was inaugurated in March 2011. The planning of Båthöjden uses the latest research on aging and age-related diseases. The building is therefore designed with spaciousness and beautiful materials to contribute to a sense of freedom, alongside the need for framing and clarity for individuals with dementia.

Public transport: Buses depart every 10 minutes from Slussen and Nacka Forum. For those driving, there is free parking available.

Dementia certification We are a dementia-certified residence, which means that all of us who work here are trained in dementia and response through Dementia Academy (https://www.vardaga.se/var-aldreomsorg/demens/).
