At IBOS you will find green areas with lawns, fruit trees, berries, bushes, and flowers. There are a rich bird life both summer and winter, and squirrels scurry up and down of tree trunks. In the spring garden furniture are placed at the outdoor areas at IBOS, so both participants, residents and staff can enjoy the sun or their lunch in the open air. Well Arranged Rooms The IBOS Department of Residence (Bo-Afdeling) has rooms for more than 30 persons – 22 rooms for visitors, and 8 flats for residents.

Like-minded and Qualified Qtaff The Department of Residence is staffed 24 hours a day by educated staff with special educational knowledge at the low-vision area, and within the autism- and ADHD-complex of problems. At any time, the staff can, in addition to this, draw on the expertise of other parts of the IBOS organization, for instance psychologist, and neuropsychologist, sexual adviser, psychiatric consultant etc. and the PAS, AMPS- and RETT-tests. The staff ensures a good environment with the best settings for social well-being. This means that every new resident has plenty of opportunities to meet with other peers with a vision impairment and establish new contacts and friendships. At the Department of Residence the resident can train vision compensating skills in a safe environment. For instance daily living training, such as cleaning, laundering, changing bed clothes, cooking, reading mail or O&M (Orientation and Mobility) like shopping, go to the postal office, or to find a bus stop and take the right bus. In short term: All the skills you need in order to take care of yourself and live by yourself in your own home. It always begins from the individual residents’ needs for support and help, and plans of actions are worked out, so the residents get the exact help that is needed. The staff support and motivate each resident to gain an increased quality of life at a daily basis for instance by leisure-time activities like sport, e.g. swimming or using IBOS’ fitness room, or to play music.
