About Us at Psychiatric Department Ytterö

At Psychiatric Department Ytterö, we provide inpatient care with a primary focus on psychotic disorders.

The department accepts patients from across the region as long as there is space available. Here, a dedicated team works where person-centered inpatient care for patients with psychiatric issues is at the core. To ensure quality and equitable care, interventions for the patient are guided by diagnosis-specific care process maps tailored to the patient's individual needs. The department employs nursing assistants, healthcare assistants, nurses, social workers, medical secretaries, and doctors working together. The unit is beautifully located next to Lake Magelungen near Farsta Centrum. Public transport is easily accessible, and there are parking spaces for employees.
