Care, Rehabilitation and Welfare

For our elderly citizens we have a number of homes and shared houses: Blaker aldersheim, Sørum sykehjem and Fjuk bofellesskap for senil demente. A new home and treatment center is being planned: Sørvald bo- og behandlingssenter.

We offer carers and home nursing to those who are sick and dependent on nursing, while still living in their own home.
