The facility is set behind a park with greenery, walking paths and an exercise park designed for older people with reduced mobility. On site there is also a café with a terrace serving pastries from its own pastry shop, plus an internet corner. Beyond long-term residential care, the home runs a day-care service for older adults who have difficulty living independently at home. The day-care premises are located on Celovška cesta, on the ground floor of an apartment block, where older people and those with dementia can spend several hours a day in the company of peers and in organised activities. The home's restaurant provides lunches adapted to the needs of older adults, and it also supplies lunches to older people in the surrounding area, delivering them to their door. Admission is open to persons over 65 years of age; applicants may be citizens of the Republic of Slovenia with permanent residence in Slovenia, or persons holding a permanent residence permit in Slovenia. The home organises numerous activities in which residents actively participate, including literary and musical performances, a cinema club, tombola, dynamic balance training, foreign language courses and exhibitions. Musical and singing groups, as well as the youngest children from kindergartens and schools, also help enliven life in the home. The kitchen team works with health services to respond to residents' wishes and needs, reflecting the home's emphasis on nutrition as an important part of its services. The organisation is a Slovenian public or non-profit care provider; no parent company, owner or listed status is indicated in the available evidence.
