Serious Workplace Safety Issues Persist at Lillsjögården Dementia Care Facility

Serious workplace safety problems continue to threaten conditions at Lillsjögården dementia care home in Almunge. Staff at the facility report overwhelming stress and chronic understaffing, with one employee describing the recent summer as the worst they have experienced. These safety and working environment deficiencies raise concerns not only for employee wellbeing but also for the vulnerable residents relying on care there.

The situation at Lillsjögården echoes previous scandals at nearby elderly care homes in Sävja, where residents were found neglected in inhumane conditions, including being left in their own blood and feces. Compounding the issue, some staff members report feeling intimidated by colleagues with alleged gang criminal ties, which has discouraged them from reporting these critical problems.

These ongoing challenges highlight significant deficiencies despite earlier political promises for improvement. The persistent understaffing and unsafe working conditions continue to jeopardize both worker health and resident safety, drawing attention to the urgent need for effective action to address the care environment.

As the summer of 2026 closes, dedicated employees at Lillsjögården remain under strain, underscoring systemic issues that require swift political and administrative intervention to protect staff and the elderly population they serve.
