Skräddaren’s nursing and care home is a municipal senior living facility in the municipality of Umeå that serves older adults with extensive nursing and care needs who have been granted a place through a social services decision. The facility is located in Teg, approximately 1.5 kilometers from downtown Umeå, close to the Ume River and green spaces. The building was constructed in 2003–2004 and renovated in 2014.

The facility comprises a total of 47 apartments spread across three floors. Each floor is divided into two smaller units, which contributes to a calm and home-like environment for both residents and staff. Work is carried out in close collaboration with licensed professionals, such as nurses, occupational therapists, and physical therapists, where good teamwork and a professional approach are central to our operations.
