Nossebro is the main town in Essunga municipality. Here in the neighborhood, Alice Karlsson, 101, has lived all her life. Mostly at the Skattåsa family farm. But when she turned 100, she moved into the elderly home.
- Then they couldn't say no more, laughs Alice Karlsson.
Alice turned 100 in June 2018. All her peers had passed away and it was lonely. In the fall, she was offered a place at the elderly home. Then she had also fallen several times at home.
- I got alarmed and then they came. But it took maybe half an hour, says Alice, who wears a security alarm.
Now there is help instead just outside the door if something should happen. But in the elderly, Alice has, fortunately, not fallen.
What's good here?
- It is that I do not feel alone. I have people around me, says Alice Karlsson.
