Health Minister Kristj\u00e1n \u00de\u00f3r J\u00fal\u00edusson has confirmed a new agreement between the Ministry of Welfare and the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur for the construction of a 60-bed care home in the municipality. The agreement replaces an older contract from 2010 which was not implemented. Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur was in the original group of municipalities that it was decided to contract with for the construction of a care home under the so-called lease model. \u00a0The home is scheduled to be ready in spring 2018.<\/p>\n
The municipality is allocating a plot of land to the facility, in accordance with the Health Services Act, and has decided that it will be built on the S\u00f3lvang site on S\u00f3lvangsveg. According to the agreement, the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur will bear full responsibility for the project's implementation, i.e. the design and construction, and the financing of the works. The design shall comply with the Ministry of Welfare's guidelines on Organisation of nursing homes<\/a> <\/u>where the emphasis is on the conditions being as homely as possible, whilst nevertheless meeting the needs of people with disabilities and a need for nursing, training and rehabilitation.<\/p>\n The construction will be based on a lease model in accordance with legislation on the affairs of the elderly. This entails that the 85% state and Ageing Services Development Fund capital grant is paid monthly as rent from the time the care home is handed over for use. The council's cost contribution is 15%. The care home will become the property of the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, but the ownership may not be transferred during the 40-year term of the agreement. Sj\u00fakratryggingar \u00cdslands will advertise for an operator for the care home twelve months before the scheduled completion of the works.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kristj\u00e1n \u00de\u00f3r J\u00fal\u00edusson heilbrig\u00f0isr\u00e1\u00f0herra hefur sta\u00f0fest n\u00fdjan samning milli velfer\u00f0arr\u00e1\u00f0uneytisins og Hafnarfjar\u00f0arkaupsta\u00f0ar um byggingu 60 r\u00fdma hj\u00fakrunarheimilis \u00ed b\u00e6jarf\u00e9laginu.
