Elderly care services in the Municipality of Umeå aim to be a resource that, through proximity and collaboration, empowers and strengthens people’s ability to live independently.

Bruksbacken is a municipal nursing and assisted living facility located in a scenic area along the Sävarån River, just a few minutes’ walk from downtown Sävar, where you’ll find shops and a pharmacy. The surroundings offer pleasant outdoor spaces with walking paths and seating areas for residents to enjoy the outdoors. Bruksbacken consists of five two-story buildings, divided into 5 units and housing a total of 52 apartments.

We are now looking forward to welcoming more colleagues to the team!
