SilviaBo is not a nursing home, it is an ordinary hou-sing, an apartment adapted to suit a person suffering from dementia and their partner at a reasonable cost. A home for continued safe and functional living as long as possible. SilviaBo Malmen is a pilot project aimed at creating good homes for persons with dementia and their part-ners. The links and proximity to the daycare are clear and Silviahemmet is working on proposals for brand new care solutions regarding daycare and possible home help and home medical care solutions. All parts of the project will be carefully monitored, reviewed and deve-loped within the pilot project.
SilviaBo’s steering committee has been working intensively since 2016 and, thanks to good teamwork, a completed pilot facility is available at Drottningholm in May 2017 – the first SilviaBo.

SilviaBo at Drottningholmsmalmen, Ekerö municipali-ty in Stockholm, is a pilot project with special precon-ditions. The apartments are built to allow persons with dementia to live in a unique environment near Silviahemmet’s daycare with specially trained staff. The 55 sq. m. apartments have two rooms and a kitchen, as well as a balcony or terrace. Each building has a com-mon entrance with an access balcony. The access balcony leads to the front door of each apartment. There is an elevator to the upper level.
BoKlok has built SilviaBo and will be able to deliver specially adapted contracts around the country accor-ding to SilviaBo’s concept, in the form of apartments with two, three or four rooms plus kitchen. Architect Anders Larsson at ALoCo – Architect SAR MSA, trai-ned at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts – has for over 20 years been developing residential areas and houses for BoKlok and other companies. Learn more at aloco.se
BoKlok is the result of a meeting in the mid-1990s between the entrepreneurs Ingvar Kamprad, IKEA, and Melker Schörling, Skanska. They saw the need to build financially, socially and environmentally sustainable houses. The result is flexible and well-planned wooden houses with apartments of varying sizes in pleasant sur-roundings. Learn more at boklok.se
SilviaBo has marked a new approach for BoKlok which, in a 50-point system, has combined BoKlok’s guidelines with the needs of those suffering from cognitive impair-ments, such as persons with dementia. Since BoKlok’s start, it has been a cooperation with IKEA regarding the furnishing of the apartments. The SilviaBo Bas dis-play a complete home with decoration, furniture and products mainly sourced from IKEA. SilviaBo Vision – the second display home is intended as a showroom, a place for innovations, smart solutions and creative thin-king regarding aids, furniture and other practical things that make daily life easier for those suffering from dementia. The constant stream of new technology, inno-vations and products means that SilviaBo Vision will be updated over time.
SilviaBo at Drottningholmsmalmen
The outdoor environment will consist of a garden designed with care to allow accessibility and safety through imple-menting a therapeutic approach. An activating, yet calm, environment for stimulating the senses as the seasons change.

Stiftelsen Silviahemmet owns the rights to the concept and intellectual property that is SilviaBo. The proper-ties at Drottningholmsmalmen are owned by Stiftelsen Silviahemmet. BoKlok will realise the SilviaBo concept in other places, nationally and internationally. The pro-ject has given all the involved parties new knowledge about how important cooperation is in order to enhan-ce the possibility for people to stay in their home despite dementia.
