About Landsbyen Sølund

Landsbyen Sølund is Denmark's largest municipal housing and activity offering for adults with substantial and permanent physical and mental disabilities and with skills from the earliest development stages. With a basis in a highly specialized professional environment, Landsbyen Sølund focuses on expression and opportunities for development for people with special needs.

About Boenhed 18

Boenhed 18 is a housing unit for adults with physical and mental disabilities, with autism, epilepsy, dementia or other psychiatric overlay. The residents are aged 19 to 81, with a developmental level at the early stages. The residents have limited or no spoken language and use different forms of communication. Several have reduced or no ability to walk. A common feature of them all is that they need to be met with respect, caring support, guidance and help, as well as to feel safety and predictability, feel understood and understand others. Our pedagogical approach is based on Gentle Teaching.

Some residents need one-to-one support at night or increased supervision. There are currently three night shifts, two of which handle the one-to-one task and the third handles the tasks for the other 12 residents. The night shifts rotate at agreed times during the night, where you either handle the one-to-one resident or the tasks around the other 12 residents. The tasks are carried out together with current night shifts, who have extensive experience, in-depth knowledge of the current residents, tasks and routines.

Boenhed 18 is divided into two houses, house 17 and 18. There are 8 apartments in each house.
