A nursing home – not always a place where residents really want to be, but mostly it is the last ‘home’ of their lives. People come here due to various issues like ageing, a heavy chronic illness, dementia or other diseases and disfunctions that influence their personal life or severe disability.
The nursing home in Volda/Norway is located at a steep hill with great view on the beautiful scenery. Next to the cold and dreary hospital atmosphere, the common areas as well as the private rooms are lovely furnished with little details to create a more pleasant ambience. Furthermore the nurses try to do their best to make the residents feel comfortable.
However, it is a place of contrasts between happiness and discontent, mirth and sadness, socializing and loneliness, hope and despair, satisfaction and doubts, fun and boredom.
