Improving Art and Culture in Stockholm's Nursing Homes

Council members Jan Jönsson and Isabel Smedberg-Palmqvist (L) proposed that Stockholm City should promote more art and culture in nursing homes to improve the quality of life for seniors, requesting a strategy from the Culture and Elder Care Committees. The City responded that extensive work is already underway to strengthen art and culture in elder care, notably through the "Culture for Seniors" model, thus a new strategy is deemed unnecessary by the majority, despite some reservations noting varying access to culture across facilities and districts and the potential for a strategy to ensure greater equality.
