What Solglimt , CVR 51910117 | Privatlivspolitik | Cookiepolitik does

Solglimt operates Denmark's only residential care facility specifically designed for children and young people with diabetes, located at Solglimtvej 13 in Fårevejle on the island of Sjælland. The institution was established in 1914 as a children's home and was converted to its current diabetes-focused mission in 1966 through a partnership with Diabetesforeningen (Danish Diabetes Association) and Red Barnet (Save the Children Denmark). It operates two residential departments (Skovly and Granly), each with capacity for 8 young people (currently targeting 6 per department), plus two independent living training apartments (botræning) on the same property, serving children and young people aged 10-23 from across Denmark who struggle with diabetes regulation and often have comorbid conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, stress, or borderline presentations.

The service portfolio centers on 24-hour residential care (Døgnophold) delivered under Danish child welfare law (Barnets lov § 43 nr. 6 and serviceloven § 107), with supporting programs in diabetes medical treatment, insulin regulation, nutrition, exercise, and psychological support. Respite care (Solstrålen Aflastning) extends the offering to shorter stays, and the institution additionally provides home follow-up supervision and counseling services to schools, families, and other networks. Clinical depth is anchored by monthly on-site consultations from Chief Physician Annie Ellermann of Holbæk Hospital's pediatric clinic, ongoing medical affiliation with Holbæk Sygehus, board-level research representation from Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, and recurring staff supervision from external psychologists. The staff mix comprises social pedagogues, nurses, and kitchen/caretaker personnel trained in diabetes management alongside psychosocial methods including mentalization, neuroaffective approaches, and motivational interviewing.

The business model is a managed services arrangement funded entirely by Danish municipalities. Placements are initiated through referrals from municipal case workers (sagsbehandlere), parents, and pediatric diabetes clinics, with the final placement decision made by the municipality after a pre-visit and admissions process coordinated by director Maiken Lang. Revenue is recurrent, tied to the number of placed young people and length of stay, and is not publicly disclosed. The institution transitioned from county to self-governing status in 2006 when Danish counties were dissolved, and re-established as a fully private residential institution (privat opholdssted) in 2017 after ending its cooperation agreement with Odsherred municipality. It is governed by a board including Ole Hansen (Formand since April 2024), Hans Erik Andersen (Næstformand since 2017), and members with backgrounds in pediatric diabetes nursing, clinical psychology, and health promotion research, and is subject to recurring operational supervision by Socialtilsyn Øst and medical supervision by the Danish Patient Safety Authority (STPS). Since 1966, more than 400 children and young people have been placed at Solglimt.
