The parties behind Framtid Falkenberg are behind the decision and are described as an investment in the countryside.

The plan is for it to be a special accommodation with at least 40 places.

- We had other alternatives in town, such as a ready-to-build plot at Tallgläntan.

But we want to create something in Vessigebro instead, says the municipal board chairman Per Svensson (S).

He believes that the accommodation will also create job opportunities.

Just over a year ago, the Älvgården nursing home in Vessigebro was evacuated after deficiencies were discovered in the property.

That accommodation is not planned to reopen.
