St.Hanshaugen retirement homes in Oslo function as a meeting place for the elderly in the local environment. Here, facilities are provided for community and activities that promote friendship and social networking. Voluntary efforts play an important role in the operation, and contribute to an inclusive environment where the elderly can participate in various activities adapted to their wishes and needs.
In addition to being a social arena, the place also offers homework help for young people, which strengthens the bonds between the generations. Focusing on the elderly being able to stay at home for as long as possible is a central part of the offer, which makes St. Hanshaugen an important resource for the local community. This helps to create an open community where everyone can feel welcome.
