Øygardens Institute is a voluntary organisation that aims to support the elderly and people with cognitive impairment or dementia. The organisation runs a day care centre for people living at home with dementia, where the focus is on activity, joy and dignity for the participants. Through their resource centre and activity centre, they offer a range of activities that are adapted to the needs of this group.
In addition to the day care, Øygardens Institute has a second-hand shop that is part of their offer. The shop helps to engage the local community and provides opportunities for volunteer work. The organisation also has an activity calendar that shows various events and activities, and it is possible to become a supporting member or a grassroots donor to support their work. Øygardens Institute plays an important role in creating an inclusive environment for the elderly and their relatives.
