Operations

Håljutegatan GB, Järvstigen SB, Banjovägen GB, and Loftvägens GB are housing with special services for individuals with significant difficulties in managing their daily lives due to mental disabilities and certain comorbidities. The operations are staffed around the clock.

The support includes assistance in the individual's home but can also include social interventions to, for example, break isolation. The interventions aim for the individual to be able to live as independently as possible with the goal of managing their own housing.

The housing support works with individually tailored support that is adapted to the user's needs and can involve support interventions in the individual's home or in the form of more outward social contact. The interventions are carried out together with the user to increase their functional ability, contribute to increased independence, and enable the user to remain in their home.
