About the Workplace

Jeremiasgården is a nature-friendly care and nursing home located next to Tybbleparken. We share a building with both Tybble health center and pharmacy. We have 56 apartments distributed across seven departments, of which two focus on cognitive impairments and five on somatics. All departments also have cohabitation apartments. Our residence is popular among the elderly, which we find very gratifying! Much of this is likely due to the activities we organize for our tenants, ranging from bingo nights to spa days.

The area of care and support is part of the Social Administration. The operations encompass care and support, preventive activities, authority exercise in the area, as well as housing placement and housing adaptation. Within the area of care and support, we work to support and help people who need care, support, or assistance in their daily lives.
