Annica Zetterholm fra Senterpartiet har fremmet et forslag for kommunestyret i Lekeberg om et nytt omsorgssenter.
Forslaget tar til orde for en boenhet som samler demensomsorg, avdelinger for andre pleiebehov, korttidsplasser og avlastningsplasser.
Ifølge forslaget er den nye boligen nødvendig for å møte kommunens krav til eldreomsorg.
Zetterholm skriver at Lekeberg har behov for en tilrettelagt boenhet der disse funksjonene er samlet.
