Disability and individual care

Stendi offers personalised residential and care services
for people with various types of complex care needs. One target group is people with disabilities, such as autism and cognitive impairment, where the need for social support interventions is ofen life long. Other target groups are people with substance abuse problems, early-onset dementia or mental health problems. They receive care in residential facilities with staf density adapted to individual needs. For individuals with high care needs, there is an assisted living facility with 24-hour stafng. Less comprehensive interventions include home support.

As a complement to residential care, Stendi also operates activity centres to give each resident a meaningful
daily life in companionship with each other

Individual and family care

For For children and youth, Stendi ofers places in specialised
foster homes and residential children’s homes. The target
group is children and youth with various types of problems and needs for support and care, who are unable to
live at home for various reasons. As a complement, Stendi also ofers services for these people when they leave the facility to support their transition to independent living. Stendi also offers short-break-only homes for children and youth with severe disabilities, as well as assistance in the home for children with physical disabilities.

Personal assistance

User-controlled personal assistance (UPA) is offered for
children and adults with sustained and severe disabilities. This service means that care receivers receive assistance with activities of daily living in order to live as independently as possible.

Framework for positive behaviour support (PBS)

The basis of our work with social care is to always adapt
our support and care to the unique needs of each care
receiver. In Stendi, we use a framework for positive behaviour support (PBS). The focus lies in person-centred care, where the individual’s needs determine the methods that are used.
