Before I started to use Fontenehuset I was awake during the night, slept or slumbered the next day. Now I go to bed at normal times and get some housework done at home before i leave for the Fontenehuset sometime before noon.

​

I like being in the kitchen doing many tasks, and also care for the flowers outside and inside. One day I was asked if I could bake something for the house meeting. I became shaky and nervous, but I said yes, and the cake was made. I was impressed by the fact that I said yes. Where did the daring and trying come from? Yes, from the communion among us. This makes us stronger. We are newer alone.

​

The work and communion makes my thoughts wander. Yes, a bad day can arrive, but by having a good conversation with a coworker can turn this to something positive. No matter if it is too small or too big. We find a jointly solution. Never alone.

​

If I am admitted at a DPS, I am not hidden or forgotten. Both employees and members follow up on me with visits, calls and day-trips to the house. Never alone.

​

By being absent over a long period, the DØRSTOKKMILA (doorstep mile) can be difficult. Then I can make a call to Fontenehuset and someone can pick me up at home, more simple than that is not possible. If I am absent for more than a 5 day period without leaving a message, I am automatically contacted by someone at the house. Its very comforting for me that there is someone who miss me and handle my situation. Never alone.

​

As a last word I would say that it´s good to arrive at home after a workday at the house- Tired in a good way. Not tired and obtuse by the medicines and a long day on the sofa. I have got a new richer everyday life without limitations and filled with joy and challenges.
