About Villa Östergård

Villa Östergård is a short-term accommodation focused on rehabilitation. The facility has 54 places. We receive patients in need of rehabilitation after fractures, surgeries, stroke, or recovery after hospital stays. Our work is guided by a salutogenic approach where daily rehabilitation is a large part of the day. We offer short-term accommodation to those aged 40 and above who need care and support in various forms. The quality of our care arises in the meeting between staff and residents. Every day, in every moment.

Or as we say: Here, every day is equally important!
