Lørenskog Municipality has two nursing homes: Lørenskog Nursing Home and Rolvsrudhjemmet. The nursing homes are run by the municipality and organised under the department of “Helse, mestring og omsorg”.
We visited a secluded department in each nursing home: the Krydderhagen department at Lørenskog Nursing Home and Department A at Rolvsrudhjemmet.
During the visit, we examined four thematic areas at the core of our mandate: exiting restrictions and retention, compulsory healthcare, the risk of inadequate or incorrect medical follow-up, and the nursing home’s effort to protect the residents against violence and abuse.
