SUN AND A SEA BREEZE
FOR NEXT OF KIN
Grandma Berit is at home, taking care of Grandpa Kalle,
who is ill. Berit is a regular visitor to the activity
centres that can be found here and there around the
municipality.
On top of that, she can relax in an unusual way: Being
next of kin to someone who is ill, she has the opportunity
to get find strength and boost her spirits through
a relaxing break in the Mauritius Sunshine Paradise
experience room. The room gives her a holistic experience
by stimulating all of her senses. She steps right
onto a sandy beach where the temperature is about
28 degrees Celsius (82 Fahrenheit). She sits down in a
sun chair and can feel the sand between her toes as
she listens to the lapping of waves and birdsong and
feels a cool sea breeze.
Berit can also use the workout and relaxation room.
In this room, she can do some careful weight training
on a vibrating disc or enjoy a moment’s relaxation in
a massage chair.
Berit sometimes brings a younger friend with her to
her Sunshine Paradise. Both she and everyone else
who is interested are welcome to experience this
room for a small fee.

LIBRARY
The family are regular visitors to Emmaboda’s libraries.
They are some of the best libraries in Sweden.
With their exhibitions and wide range of various media
and activities, these libraries function as meeting
places where everyone is welcome. You can also order
books from anywhere in Sweden, free of charge!
The family can choose to borrow books at any of the
branches in Emmaboda, Boda, Eriksmåla, Johansfors,
Lindås, Långasjö or Vissefjärda. No matter where you
live, there’s always a library nearby!

SECURITY
Later in the evening, the parents join the night patrol
which is called Nattvakten. Nattvakten is a group of
volunteers who patrol an area to keep an eye on things
and report any suspicious activities. The patrolling
vehicle is in contact with other Nattvakten vehicles,
security guards (Securitas) and the Police command
centre. Very often, they also collaborate with Emmaboda
Nattvandrare, foot-patrolling volunteers.
But it’s not just volunteers that make Emmaboda a
safer place. The municipality has signed a collaborative
agreement with the police which underlines the
importance of collaboration and mutual preventive
work. The social and family services’ personnel in the
field also play a very important role in this ambition.
They focus their work on youths and their parents.
The social and family services offer tailor-made support
to young people aged 13-23. By working with the
bigger picture, they can provide help in both the short
and the long run. Parents often see their preventive
work out in the field. The “field workers” can be found
where young people are, such as festivals and other
events. That provides a sense of security.
