After a decade of discussions and planning, the first sod was broken in 2022.

Now, two years later, Arjeplog municipality is moving its care for the elderly from Vaukagården to the newly built Björkbacken.

- It will be easier for the staff to work.

Here it is more adapted for people who have special needs, says Ulrika Bergman.

Budgetary restrictions in healthcare

The total cost is SEK 185 million.

There will be austerity in staffing, but according to Bergman, it is a problem that will be solved.

- We have a tight budget, it's all about savings.

But we will solve it, if it is an extra burden of care, we can bring in extra.
