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

Nordstjärnan in Marieberg, about 6 km from downtown Umeå, is a newly built nursing and assisted living facility that, together with a preschool and a commercial kitchen, forms a unique collaborative complex in Umeå. The building has four floors and houses a nursing and care home with 60 apartments. On the ground floor is a common area with a café and a stage where children and residents can participate in shared activities such as art openings, singing, or the St. Lucia procession. The preschool’s art studios can be used by both the children and the seniors. The surrounding area offers access to forests and nature. The courtyard features a greenhouse that everyone can enjoy. The building also has a winter garden where residents can grow plants during the winter months.
