Residence for Seniors
Application for Residence for Seniors

In Torshavn Municipality, there are eight elderly care homes; this includes nursing homes, care homes and elderly house shares. Settlement is administrated according to needs. This means that there are three types of settlements in Torshavn Municipality:

  • Settlement for citizens with elderly disabilities and nursing needs.
  • Settlement for citizens with elderly disabilities and more significant nursing needs.
  • Settlement for citizens with dementia. 

You can be appointed accommodation if you are a pensioner that requires help or nursing throughout the day. In particular circumstances, accommodation may be provided to citizens not yet pensioners, such as a citizen with dementia.
 
The citizens with the greater need for help will be prioritised. The allocation of accommodation is bound by availability; therefore, it is not possible to request an accommodation in a particular home.
