About us

In Adult Disability, we are ambitious on behalf of the citizens and work from the idea that all citizens can develop. The individual must have advice, support and care that enables him or her to continually develop to cope better and more independently.

Adult Disability is part of Social Care. Here we work with five guiding points for culture development:

• The citizens' functional level means they need us. We are always there with full respect for the citizen.
• All people want to manage as independently as possible. We therefore work on the use and development of the citizens' potential.
• All people want to feel seen, heard and understood. We know that a good meeting with the citizen contains much more than delivering a service.
• All employees and leaders want the best development. We know that presence and professional leadership close to practice is developmental.
• Our organization and collaboration is not the citizens' challenge. We must provide the citizen with coordinated and coherent processes.
• Together we move people.

Fønix is an Activity and Social Interaction offering under the Danish Service Act § 104 for people with significant physical or mental impairment or with special social problems. The purpose of the offer is to increase the individual's quality of life in daily life, and the offer is targeted especially at citizens with a need for social interaction and activities in a community.

Fønix has a wide range of activity offerings, such as creative workshops, sensory integration, music, outdoor life, etc. The activities are developed continuously and in collaboration with the citizens. We work with a structure where citizens have the opportunity to choose between four new activity lines, across the citizens' functional levels.

What ties it all together is that we believe people develop through meaningful communities and concrete activities.
