You can’t live any closer to downtown Skövde. At Bagaren, the city’s array of services, shops, and cultural offerings are right around the corner. Despite the city’s liveliness and energy, you can find peace and quiet in the pleasant courtyard, which features several outdoor seating areas.
The apartments are located on the ground floor or are accessible by elevator and are easily accessible even for people with limited mobility. Apartments come in a variety of sizes, ranging from one-bedroom units to three-bedroom units.
A standard apartment with greater security
To provide more seniors with access to suitable housing, the City of Skövde has converted a number of service apartments into what are known as “security housing.” Security housing refers to housing that meets requirements for good accessibility and safety, as well as proximity to social activities and community life.
No social services decision is required to live in a senior housing unit; anyone who has turned 70 can apply, and units are allocated through a waiting list system. For Skövde Municipality’s senior housing units, those who have turned 90 are given priority.
This is a residential community for people aged 70 and older, but with that little extra something that ensures high accessibility and creates the conditions for a sense of community and well-being. There are also plenty of opportunities to stay active, either on your own or in a group. A common room is available for group activities, and together with your neighbors, the possibilities are endless.
Owned by the municipality and leased by Skövdebostäder
Skövdebostäder manages the rental and waiting list for Skövde Municipality’s apartments in Sörbacka in Värsås, as well as Skövde Municipality’s senior housing in Boken and Bagaren in central Skövde, Käpplunda gärde in Skövde, Billingsdal in Timmersdala, and Solgården in Tidan. Once you are living in one of these apartments, you should contact Skövde Municipality.
