About the Organization

Our clinic is located in the center of Brandbergen, close to restaurants, grocery stores, and good public transport connections. We are responsible for approximately 8,000 registered patients, of which about 90-100 are enrolled in home healthcare.

Our goal is to provide safe, secure, and person-centered care in the home environment. The care services can be both short-term and long-term.

Since our home healthcare patients live in the local area, transportation is done by foot or bicycle, which means a driver's license is not required.
