Seltjarnarnes should be a model municipality in which residents of all ages can lead independent and fulfilling lives in a safe environment. We prioritize integrated services and diverse housing options so that people can remain in their own homes for as long as possible and downsize within Seltjarnarnes as their needs change. We will reduce social isolation and ensure that services are always delivered in accordance with individual needs.
We will take action to support healthy aging. We want to simplify access to advice and information about the rights of older people and their families, as well as the services and resources available to them. Growing older in Seltjarnarnes should be a positive experience. We aim to create favorable conditions for older residents in daily life and leisure, while also easing the burden on their families.
Our goal is to remove barriers between systems and ensure integrated, timely services that improve quality of life for all residents. By using technological solutions and strengthening community engagement, we will foster a society in which well-being and safety are prioritized at every stage of life.
