Stockholms Sjukhem

What Stockholms Sjukhem does

Stockholms Sjukhem is an idea-driven foundation (Stiftelsen Stockholms Sjukhem, org nr. 8020029818) that has operated integrated hospital and elderly care services in Stockholm since 1865. The organization delivers geriatric medicine, specialized rehabilitation (including neurological rehabilitation for stroke, Parkinson's, brain injury, and spinal cord injury), palliative care, cognitive assessments, advanced home healthcare (ASIH), and primary care rehabilitation across facilities in Kungsholmen, Bromma, Marieberg, Nacka, and Täby. Approximately 1,700 employees serve patients and elderly residents under publicly funded contracts with Region Stockholm and Stockholm-area municipalities, with an integrated technology stack spanning electronic patient journals (TakeCare, WebCare, Vaccinera), the DISKO home-based stroke rehabilitation tool co-developed with Danderyds sjukhus, and the Nära Stående.se web support platform.

The foundation reinvests 100% of surplus into healthcare, elderly care, and research, and holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications. Research is a core activity, with approximately 20 ongoing and 21 completed projects in geriatrics, palliative care, rehabilitation, and elderly care, conducted in partnership with Karolinska Institutet and other academic and clinical actors including Danderyds sjukhus, Huddinge Municipality, and Ersta-Bracke-Sköndal Högskola. Patient-facing innovation is anchored by proprietary protocols such as OPEN (sit-to-stand exercise combined with protein supplementation), NVP (Nationell Vårdplan för Palliativ vård implementation), HiBalance (Parkinson's balance training), and DISKO.

Revenue is generated through per-patient public healthcare contracts with Region Stockholm, municipal allocations for elderly residential placements, and external research grants (Vetenskapsrådet, Cancerfonden, FORTE, ALF-medel). Patient fees are regulated by Swedish law and represent a marginal revenue stream. In April 2024 the foundation expanded its residential footprint by acquiring Graninge Strand (Nacka) and Näsby Slottspark (Täby) from Silver Life Service AB. Brand strength is evidenced by 95% patient/resident satisfaction with treatment and 94% recommendation rate, alongside ~160 years of continuous operation.
