About this role
The elderly care services in Umeå municipality aim to be a resource that liberates and strengthens people's ability to live an independent life through proximity and interaction.
Lundagård care and nursing home opened in the autumn of 2019 and is located in Sofiehem, approximately 4 km from Umeå city center, near Norrland University Hospital and Ålidhems Church. We are a collaborative house, which means that other municipal services are also located in the building: a preschool and a kitchen for meal preparation. The approximately 100 children attending the preschool have their outdoor environment adjacent to our residence, and we organize activities together. The kitchen prepares a large number of meals that are distributed to residences and preschools throughout Umeå municipality.
We are now looking forward to welcoming two nursing assistants to our team!
