Work has been underway to finalise the agreement, which involves StLO taking full responsibility for the works on the 3rd floor and bearing the associated costs, in return for the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur entering into 15-year lease agreements with the Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Associations.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/mynd1-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Figure 1\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2048px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2048\/1536;\" \/><sup><strong>Signing of the agreement. <\/strong>Vilborg J\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir, chair of the Parkinson's Association, Steind\u00f3r Gunnlaugsson, chair of StLo, R\u00f3sa Gu\u00f0bjartsd\u00f3ttir, mayor of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, and \u00c1rni Sverrisson, chair of the Alzheimer's Association.<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>The Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Association will establish day centres on the 3rd floor of the Quality of Life Centre for individuals who have recently been diagnosed with dementia or Parkinson's.

The Borough of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur is a health-promoting community, and part of this is to revive the old St. Joseph's Hospital and breathe new life into it with activities aimed at maintaining and enhancing people's quality of life. The presence of the Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Association on the 3rd floor of the building for the next 15 years is a vital cornerstone for its future operations. Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur is also a Dementia Friendly City, which means we have committed to developing a community that is friendly, supportive and aware of the needs of people with dementia and their carers. This project is clearly a big step in that direction.\u201c<\/em> says R\u00f3sa Gu\u00f0bjartsd\u00f3ttir, Mayor of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/mynd2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Figure 2-1-\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1500\/2000;\" \/><sup><strong>The parties to the agreement. <\/strong>Steind\u00f3r Gunnlaugsson, Chairman of StLo; Vilborg J\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir, Chairwoman of the Parkinson's Association; Magn\u00fas S\u00e6dal, Building Manager of StLo; Ragnhei\u00f0ur Agnarsd\u00f3ttir, Project Manager of the St. J\u00f3 Wellbeing Centre; \u00d3l\u00f6f P\u00e1lsd\u00f3ttir, Treasurer of StLo, \u00c1rni Sverrisson, Chairman of the Alzheimer's Association, \u00c1g\u00fast Bjarni Gar\u00f0arsson, Chairman of the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Town Council, and R\u00f3sa Gu\u00f0bjartsd\u00f3ttir, Mayor of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur.<\/sup><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Styrktar- og l\u00edknarsj\u00f3\u00f0ur Oddfellowa og Hafnarfjar\u00f0arb\u00e6r undirrita samkomulag um framkv\u00e6mdir vi\u00f0 dagdeildir Alzheimer- og Parkinsonsamtakanna \u00ed St. J\u00f3 S\u00ed\u00f0asta vetrardag gengu Styrktar- og l\u00edknarsj\u00f3\u00f0ur Oddfellowa (StLO) og Hafnarfjar\u00f0arb\u00e6r fr\u00e1 samkomulagi um framkv\u00e6mdir vi\u00f0 dagdeildir Alzheimer- og Parkinsonsamtakanna \u00e1 3. h\u00e6\u00f0 \u00e1 L\u00edfsg\u00e6\u00f0asetri St. J\u00f3 vi\u00f0 Su\u00f0urg\u00f6tu 41 \u00ed Hafnarfir\u00f0i.
