The Hemsö Gift spreads joy
Hemsö’s care and nursing home tenants could apply for a Hemsö Gift in 2024, which included a henhouse, a bicycle, a greenhouse and outdoor furniture.
– It was a bit of a shock when we got the good news that we’d been awarded a contribution to build a roof over our pergola. It means a lot that the users can get shade on hot summer days,” says Ann Rickhammar, operation manager at Dagverksamheten, Värmlandsgatan 16 i Norrköping.
Caroline Bergfeldt, assistant nurseWe are so happy that in the future we can do activities outside whether it is sunny or if it rains.
Bifrost short-term care centre in Mölndal received a contribution for outdoor furniture.
– We want to buy furniture in sturdy material that we can place in small groups in the yard. We are very happy to have our wish fulfilled,” says Susanne Ramstedt, who is the operations manager.
At the Selggrensgården nursing home in Gävle, the chickens will get a henhouse thanks to the Hemsö Gift.
Liselott Smedlund, operations manager, Selggrensgården– Our residents really appreciate the free-range chickens that roam our beautiful yard. It will be great to have a new henhouse for them.
Attendo Kungshamn in Nacka, Stockholm has a green garden that encourages outdoor activities, socialising and activity. There are cosy patios with space for meals and a herb garden for scents and flavours. Many of the plants attract butterflies, bumblebees and bees. There is also a beautiful fountain.
This environment will now also include an outdoor café, as they requested when they applied for the Hemsö Gift.
Rebecca Enmark, asset manager at Hemsö– I was very happy when I handed over the gift because this will allow them to intensify their focus on the garden where they have different activities like barbecues and concerts.
Rotviksbro nursing home in Uddevalla will soon be able to cultivate in their new greenhouse.
