Uppsala municipality has begun relocating transitional care beds during March and April. The goal is to provide permanent placements following the temporary move in December 2025, when Nora 2 was closed.
Nora short-term/transitional housing is now refocusing exclusively on dementia-oriented short-term care. General care transitional beds are moving to selected care and nursing homes in Uppsala, while all dementia care beds are being consolidated at Årstagården.
The change aims to create a clearer structure and concentrate expertise for improved quality and stability for users and staff, Uppsala kommun states.
The relocation of general care beds is proceeding successively, with dementia care beds moving as spaces become available. Affected operations, staff, users, and relatives are being informed continuously to ensure a smooth transition. All moves are expected to be complete by mid-April. Users and relatives are advised to contact the relevant unit manager with any questions.
