For 30 years, activities for the elderly have been conducted in the premises at Kyviksvägen 2 in Kullavik, according to officials. At the beginning of the year, it was announced that the elderly activities would be moved out, a decision that aroused strong reactions both among the elderly and in politics. The specific new location for the elderly activities has not been disclosed, and it is unclear when exactly the move will take place.
Part of the concern was that the new meeting place would be far away for elderly people who have difficulty moving, officials noted. Helena, 95, who leads quizzes at the meeting place, is among those affected, though the total number of elderly people impacted remains unknown. The premises are planned to become housing with special support and service for people with functional variations, officials said.
Political reactions or actions taken in response to the announcement have not been detailed.
