About us

The Krabben Shared Accommodation is a 24/7 residential facility under the general Housing Act § 105 with support under § 85. Here live 22 adult citizens with developmental disabilities who are supported to live an independent and meaningful life with the greatest possible degree of self-determination, well-being and mastery.

The Hjortdal Social and Activity Offer is an activity program under the Social Services Act § 104 with room for 25 citizens. The program provides the framework for development, community, activity, and participation, based on each citizen's resources, wishes, and needs.
