meeting on the elderly care service held at H\u00f6f\u00f0i last spring<\/a>, this firstly affects the quality of life of elderly people who are on waiting lists for such places, often in difficult and unsatisfactory conditions. This strengthens the position of Landsp\u00edtalinn to provide specialised healthcare services, where patient discharges run more smoothly and this creates increased capacity for GP practices and local authorities to better provide services for the elderly, who can certainly remain at home with good support\u201csays Svand\u00eds.\".<\/p>\n\u201eThis decision is tremendously important and positive for us here in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. A pressing matter of public interest, which we have been advocating for some time, is now becoming a reality, as is our vision for S\u00f3lvangur to become a dynamic centre for the elderly.\u00a0 We are grateful for this authorisation from the ministry and will continue to enhance and strengthen services for the elderly here in the town,\u201c said R\u00f3sa Gu\u00f0bjartsd\u00f3ttir, Mayor of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, today when the Minister of Health announced his decision at the new building at S\u00f3lvang.<\/p>\n
The Municipality of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur is the registered owner of the old S\u00f3lvangur building, and it has applied for funding for the necessary renovations so that the 33 nursing rooms in question can be operated. The cost estimate for the project amounts to just under 600 million kr\u00f3na. If the Elderly Care Construction Fund approves the municipality's application, the grant from the fund could cover up to 40% of the cost. The plan is to begin refurbishing the building as soon as the new care home is commissioned, around the turn of the year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
