Blomsterfonden – for a safer and richer life for the elderly

Blomsterfonden is a non-profit organization that works to ensure that the elderly have a safe home, professional care, and a meaningful everyday life.

We operate five senior residences with vibrant social communities, our own home care services, and four nursing homes where safe care is the focus. Our goal is to provide elderly people with a richer life – filled with community, care, and joy of life. Our work is permeated by our ethical values: humanity, participation, clarity, and honesty.

The association was founded in 1921 by Alma Hedin. Under her leadership, a special spirit emerged – the Blomsterfonden spirit – which still characterizes our operations today. We continue Alma's work by cherishing what is at the core of every human life: recognizing the individual's capacity, will, and emotional life.

Blomsterfonden also actively works to support relatives. We organize and participate in various forums to spread knowledge about the needs and life situations of the elderly.
