Jönköping chooses Humana Omsorg to operate Kavlagården


Humana Omsorg, part of the Humana Group, today was notified about a contract award decision to operate Kavlagården in Jönköping, starting on 1 December 2011. Kavlagården comprises 46 apartments organised in five units. The contract also includes responsibility for health and medical care up to the nurse level. Humana Omsorg has since previously had responsibility for elderly care and LSS assisted living in southern Sweden.

Humana Omsorg has been awarded a contract to operate Kavlagården in Jönköping, starting on 1 December 2011; this comes as a result of Jönköping Municipality’s procurement process. Kavlagården comprises 46 apartments organised in five units. Two of the units, comprising 18 apartments, are group living homes for people with dementia. The contract includes responsibility for health and medical care up to the nurse level.

“We are very happy and proud to be entrusted with running Kavlagården, and above all that we were awarded this contract thanks to our focus on quality,” comments Johan Åsbrink, President of Humana Omsorg. “Our ambition is to offer our customers the best quality of care and give them greater opportunities to influence their everyday lives.”

Human Omsorg received the top score in the evaluation performed by Jönköping Municipality in its procurement process and won on the basis of quality. Takeover of the operation will take place in close coordination with Jönköping Municipality, which currently operates Kavlagården. Humana Omsorg will initiate its work at Kavlagården by immediately informing the residents, their families and personnel.

“We want to give everyone an opportunity to meet the management at Humana Omsorg and explain how the takeover of Kavlagården will take place in a secure and respectful manner for everyone concerned,” adds Johan Åsbrink.
